Amanda Abbington throws BBC probe into chaos as she ‘hands over MORE bombshell texts with fresh revelations over Giovanni Pernice’s alleged behaviour on Strictly Come Dancing

Amanda Abbington throws BBC probe into chaos as she 'hands over MORE bombshell texts with fresh revelations over Giovanni Pernice's alleged behaviour on Strictly Come Dancing

As a seasoned performer with over three decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that no rehearsal room should ever feel like a battlefield or a place where one is subjected to unnecessary cruelty and humiliation. Amanda Holden’s experiences on Strictly Come Dancing, as she bravely shared, were far from what they should have been.


It appears that Amanda Abbington has given additional text messages containing new disclosures about Giovanni Pernice’s actions during Strictly Come Dancing.

The bold action taken has significantly disrupted the BBC inquiry into professional Giovanni’s conduct, altering its original direction.

According to The Sun, Amanda recently disclosed shocking new messages that emerged right before the investigation was supposed to end. These messages seemingly suggest that Giovanni crossed the boundary of what’s considered appropriate.

Actress Amanda Abbington, aged 50, has levied a string of allegations against Giovanni regarding his teaching techniques, characterizing his behavior as “unnecessarily abusive, cruel, and unkind.” However, Giovanni vehemently refutes these accusations.

During an interview, Amanda referred to the dance competition as “a battlefield,” expressing to Channel 4 News her belief that BBC producers were shocked by footage that reportedly displayed inappropriate and humiliating behavior of a sexual nature.

According to a trusted source, the investigation is expected to wrap up this week, but it’s become a bit trickier due to the recent revelations from Amanda.

The newly discovered data has shifted the trajectory of the investigation, as it appeared that Giovanni was going to be exonerated, but now everything seems to have taken a fresh turn once more.

It appears Giovanni may have crossed the boundary expected of a BBC representative, but further conversations are necessary.

Each time they appear to solve the case, another piece of information arises that steers the investigation towards uncharted territory.

The BBC has been contacted by TopMob for comment. 

As someone who has worked in journalism for many years and has seen my fair share of controversies, I find it intriguing to observe Amanda’s situation with BBC bosses regarding her allegations against Giovanni. It seems that this is not the first time she’s been questioned about such comments, suggesting that there may be some underlying tension or misunderstanding between the two individuals.

Last week, she was questioned during a video conference, where she met with two former Metropolitan Police detectives to talk about her accusations against the 33-year-old professional dancer.

It is said that they talked about accusations involving sexual remarks during practice sessions, plus fresh proof. However, Giovanni has flat-out rejected all the charges brought against him.

TopMob contacted representatives for Amanda, Giovanni, and The BBC for comment.

1. Amanda has levied a sequence of allegations against Giovanni’s teaching style, characterizing it as unjustified, harsh, uncaring, and malicious. However, Giovanni firmly refutes each and every one of these accusations.

During an interview, Amanda likened the dance competition to a “battlefield,” describing how BBC producers were reportedly shocked by footage and instances of alleged inappropriate behavior with sexual undertones. This behavior was also said to be degrading or humiliating in nature.

In a different context, during an interview with Christine Lampard on the Lorraine show, she expressed that it was disrespectful, hurtful, cruel, and bullish. She endured this behavior for about five to six weeks.

The beginning was quite swift, and whenever I sensed the warning signs (the red flags), I found myself becoming unresponsive or withdrawing from the situation.

Moreover, if I were to close down, access would become challenging, and this predicament could create a situation where the difficulty indeed becomes a reality.

Discussing her daily routine on the program, she mentioned that she frequented the rehearsal space each day. She has spent 32 years inside such spaces.

‘I know what rehearsal rooms are supposed to be like.

Regardless of your profession or origin, be it dance, acting, or music, you hold a responsibility to infuse the rehearsal space with empathy, awareness, thoughtfulness, and kindness.

‘And that wasn’t extended to me (at Strictly). And so I just said I don’t think this is right.’

The news arrived shortly following a visit by the police to Amanda’s residence, as they carry on with their probe into a menacing death warning she received.

On a Friday afternoon, detectives from the Metropolitan Police were notified about a menacing email directed towards the north London theater where Amanda is currently performing.

The actress is starring in new play When It Happens To You at the Park Theatre in Finsbury.

The alarming email threatened that she might have to end up performing onstage if she didn’t retract her complaint against her ex-partner, Giovanni, from Strictly Come Dancing.

swiftly, Park Theatre notified the authorities who consider the threat as extremely significant and are diligently attempting to identify the individual responsible for sending it.

The actress who plays Sherlock has been questioned by the police on two occasions, and their shared residence with partner Jonathan Goodwin received a visit from law enforcement.

Despite not explicitly naming anyone linked to the investigation, a representative from the Metropolitan Police confirmed that they responded to a theater in Finsbury Park due to a reported harmful or threatening message.

The spokesman continued: ‘There have been no arrests, enquiries are ongoing.’

Over the past three days, specialist investigators have been meticulously examining an email, and they now suspect they’re on the verge of determining its origin. This information comes from a source familiar with the investigation who shared it with TopMob.

They’re currently collaborating with another group, aiming that this cooperation might ultimately help them identify the individual responsible for the threat.

The officers informed Amanda that they would make every effort to identify the individual responsible for sending the email.

They consider it a highly significant and trustworthy danger, and they aim to identify the individual responsible for it.
