The Mail can now reveal that Amanda Abbington called Giovanni Pernice a string of swear words - and was even deemed to have been the one to start the coarse language by the BBC probe.
‘Not so saintly now, are we Amanda?’ Read AMANDA PLATELL’S searing take on the Strictly scandal as the real story starts to emergeWhen Amanda Abbington appeared on Newsnight last week, she said that her former Strictly partner Giovanni Pernice called her names.
Corporation sources can reveal that, during their written exchanges on WhatsApp, Ms Abbington referred to the Sicilian dancer as a ‘k***head,’ a ‘d***face’ and a ‘t**t’ – despite her complaining that he was abusive to her. The review also found that, according to the evidence seen by the BBC panel, the use of the derogatory terms and expletives was commonplace between the pair.
‘Amanda has done two interviews now where she has spoken about how hard of a time she got from Giovanni, how he was horrid to her. Because of this investigation Gio is no longer on the television in the UK, he is now in Italy and it really didn’t have to be like that.’ While the BBC report did uphold the allegation that Pernice gestured towards his groin when Ms Abbington did something well and said words along the lines of ‘look what you made me do’, it found that there was insufficient evidence to find that he had an erection at the time.
Last week the BBC upheld six out of 17 of the complaints made by Ms Abbington about Pernice. As a result, the Corporation apologised to her and thanked her for coming forward to complain.The six-month long investigation, which cost the licence fee payer upwards of £250,000, also found that on another occasion he said: ‘I’m tired of it, if you want to look s*** I don’t care.’
