During BBC's Newsnight, Amanda Abbington said that this year was 'one of the worst years' of her life after she made complaints against Strictly Come Dancing's partner Giovanni Pernice which were investigated by the corporation.
What a bitter blow for the distinguished actress Amanda Abbington . After her often histrionic months-long campaign to have her Strictly partner Giovanni Pernice cancelled, the BBC says he will star in their 20th anniversary December spectacular.
What utter humiliation for Amanda, who – on October 1 – after results of the BBC inquiry into her allegations were published, appeared on the front page of The Sun triumphantly claiming that she had been ‘vindicated’ and had won her battle against Gio. In the end it seems as if it was she who was hell-bent on destroying Gio’s career come what may. And she almost succeeded.
How significant it is that the BBC reassured the bosses at Ballando con le Stelle about Gio’s integrity before they signed him, giving them the green light, despite Amanda’s devastating claims against him. Shorthand for the BBC saying that despite Amanda’s best efforts, Gio wasn’t ever a candidate for cancellation.
In recent weeks she was back at the Beeb demanding justice for her and all abused women everywhere, a self-appointed #MeToo champion, one claims she was speaking out and giving a voice to other women like her.Amanda Platell asks of Amanda: If you are a champion of women, why is that so many female Strictly fans have not warmed to your crusade?
