BBC director general Tim Davie has said the Strictly Come Dancing investigation is 'pretty close' to an outcome during an interview with Amol Rajan on BBC Radio 4's Today show
BBC boss Tim Davie has revealed that the Strictly Come Dancing investigation is "pretty close" to nearing its outcome. The BBC director general shared that the investigation into 2023 contestant Amanda Abbington's claims that she was mistreated by her dance partner Giovanni Pernice is nearing its end. However, he didn't commit to making the overall findings public.
Speaking to Amol Rajan on BBC Radio 4's Today show, Tim said: "Many things in life would be useful, but we have to do the process," reports the Mirror. This year new details emerged about alleged "abusive behaviour" behind-the-scenes that led Amanda to exit the show. She subsequently lodged a complaint against the BBC programme, accusing Giovanni of "abusive behaviour". Giovanni has denied the allegations.
"Amanda was greatly reassured during her first interview when she was told by the BBC investigators that her account was fully believed - and now it is down to the corporation to release their findings. Her biggest concern, from day one, has been to ensure that others don't have to go through the same traumatic experience that she has."
