Actress Amanda Abbington shares that her legal team is still reviewing a 30-page report regarding her complaints about the BBC, and she continues to receive guidance from her lawyer as the situation remains unresolved.
When Amanda Abbington tearfully told Giovanni Pernice that she'd found lumps in her breasts, he reacted like a perfect gentleman, say his friends.
'As far as everyone was concerned, Amanda left because she had found some lumps in her breasts that understandably left her worried she could have cancer,' says a BBC source. 'Nobody wants to have to see anyone go through that and there was a lot of kindness shown to Amanda. Gio was very concerned and wanted to help her in any way he could.
After a particularly gruelling rehearsal, she said she then 'went to the toilet, came back and said, 'I'm going to go to the hospital now because I found two lumps in my breast this morning'.' She told the Sun on Sunday that leaving the rehearsal 'was a healthier option than being in that room'. Abbington also claims the BBC batted off her pleas for camera footage, which Pernice claims he requested – another bone of contention between the pair. Then, in April, after Abbington instructed London-based law firm Carter-Ruck to make a formal complaint, the BBC launched its own investigation.During her Channel 4 interview with Krishnan Guru-Murthy in July, she let slip that she wanted to be compensated and last week it was reported that she is considering legal action.
'Giovanni is focusing on his job on Ballando con le Stelle and supporting his partner Bianca, and hopes that Ms Abbington can soon accept the review's findings and look to the future.' Of the two complaints which were upheld of a sexual nature, one saw Pernice grab his crotch and utter a lewd remark. He also told his dance partner that he 'wanted to f*** her'.
