Giovanni Pernice Boosted in BBC Bullying Case

Giovanni Pernice, a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, has reportedly received a boost in his ongoing BBC bullying investigation, as only the allegations made by Amanda Abbington have been formally addressed. While Abbington claimed that five or six others were also affected by Giovanni's behavior, sources suggest that the BBC has either dismissed these claims or that no formal complaints have been lodged. A BBC insider clarified that the narrative of multiple complainants is misleading, asserting that Giovanni has only been asked to respond to Amanda's allegations. Additionally, Amanda has claimed that Giovanni is attempting to block access to 50 hours of rehearsal footage, which she describes as 'toxic' and potentially humiliating. This situation has been exacerbated by Amanda's assertion that the BBC's producers were 'horrified' by some of the footage. The ongoing developments in this case highlight the complexities surrounding the allegations and the responses from both parties.
