Amanda Abbington reveals why When It Happens to You is a 'dream role' for her. The actress sat down with Jez Bond to discuss the inspiration behind the play and what drew the artists to the work.
Have YOU got a story? Email [email protected] Giovanni Pernice reportedly tried to call Amanda Abbington during the BBC 's probe into claims of off-camera misconduct towards her on Strictly Come Dancing.
The actress, 50, was paired with Italian ballroom specialist Giovanni, 33, for the long-running BBC show's 21st series in 2023, but abruptly withdrew just five weeks into the competition She said: 'I've had the worst experience. The show was tough and horrible, but the aftermath of it I was not expecting. It's been really brutal and it just hasn't stopped.
The actress also admitted she would become nauseous after completing rehearsals with Pernice, a fan favourite who had appeared on Strictly for eight years prior to his suspension. It has heaped further turmoil on Strictly, which is deemed to be the jewel in the Corporation's crown and is still watched by more than ten million people.
A television source told the Mail: 'This investigation is no longer just solely about Giovanni but other, more wider issues. The show has been going for 20 years and the whole veneer of Strictly is so sparkly and lovely, of course there will always be people who feel hard done by. 'Having the Giovanni complaint has been a big enough issue, but now it looks like there is more to be scrutinised and looked into.'Insiders say also that the widened inquiry will now present the Sicilian star as possibly being a 'small fish' in Strictly's potential downfall.
