Strictly's Amanda Abbington finds BBC bosses 'line of questioning 'highly offensive' as they investigate lewd comments and illicit video Giovanni Pernice shared with actress'

As a seasoned professional with decades of experience in the entertainment industry, I can’t help but feel deeply saddened by the recent events unfolding at Strictly Come Dancing. Amanda Holden, a fellow veteran in this field, has bravely stepped forward to share her harrowing experiences on the show.


It appears that Amanda Abbington, who is a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, has expressed dissatisfaction with the manner of questioning by BBC executives during their investigation into the show’s misconduct issues, finding it offensive.

Actress Amanda, aged 50, has levied a sequence of allegations against dance instructor Giovanni Pernice, asserting that his teaching methods are unnecessarily harsh, abusive, cruel, and malicious. However, Pernice firmly refutes all these accusations.

In my latest update, it appears that the actress is once again under scrutiny regarding a private video she received from a dancer, along with an inappropriate comment he made concerning another notable figure in the entertainment industry during the video exchange.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share this intriguing piece of news: It seems Giovanni has been reportedly involved in a comment about a dear family member of Amanda’s, which led to a situation where the BBC executives had to ‘gently inquire’ from her if his remark was intended as friendly banter.

A source told The Sun: ‘[Amanda] found this line of questioning highly offensive.’

Concerning the supposed video, they informed the publication: ‘The BBC must acknowledge that the video was received. It appears there is a path of proof.’

Although it’s clear that the footage was likely shared with good intentions, the BBC expresses worry that such action might violate the agreed-upon conduct outlined in the contract given to the professional dancers.

TopMob have contacted Amanda’s reps, Giovanni’s reps and BBC for comment. 

Amanda has a daughter named Grace and a son called Joe, whom she had with her former partner Martin Freeman (age 52). They were together for 16 years, starting in the year 2000, up until 2016.

Following Martin extending his support to her during the scandal, she found comfort in him, serving as a source of strength during difficult times. Additionally, her partner Jonathan Goodwin also provided support, according to The Sun.

After several weeks of examination, it’s anticipated that the BBC will wrap up their investigation regarding Giovanni very soon.

As an eager admirer bursting with anticipation, I can’t help but share the latest scoop about Amanda’s recent disclosure of additional texts, brimming with new insights into Giovanni’s actions on Strictly.

1. It is alleged that the unexpected action disrupted the BBC’s investigation into the conduct of professional Giovanni, significantly altering the direction of their inquiry.

According to The Sun, Amanda recently disclosed some explosive messages, right before the investigation was wrapping up. These messages allegedly suggest that Giovanni crossed the boundary of what’s considered appropriate.

Later on in the week, it’s said that Amanda was questioned again by BBC authorities regarding the alleged offensive remarks attributed to Giovanni.

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

It’s said that they talked about accusations involving inappropriate comments about sex during practice sessions, along with fresh proof. However, Giovanni has flatly rejected every claim leveled against him.

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

Amanda has levied a string of allegations regarding Giovanni’s teaching style, characterizing it as unnecessarily harsh, abusive, cruel, and malicious. However, Giovanni vehemently refutes each and every one of these charges.

During an interview, Amanda described the dance show as being similar to a “battlefield,” expressing to Channel 4 News that the BBC producers were reportedly shocked by certain footage and instances of behavior that appeared to be embarrassingly sexual in nature.

In a different context, when I had a conversation with Christine Lampard on Lorraine, I expressed that it was inappropriate, hurtful, unpleasant, and borderline bullying behavior. Regrettably, I endured this treatment for around five to six weeks.

The process began quite promptly, and as events unfolded, I’d find myself reacting by withdrawing, as I was keenly aware of the warning signs, or “red flags.”

In other words, if I were to close down, it would become challenging for others to gain entry, and this situation could potentially prove itself true.

Speaking about her TV show routine, she mentioned that she spends each day in the rehearsal room. She has been doing so for 32 years, spending time in rehearsal spaces throughout these three decades.

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

Regardless of your personal background, be it dance, drama, or music, it’s essential for you to carry empathy, awareness, gentleness, and kindness whenever you step into the rehearsal space.

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