Abbington Presents New Evidence Against Pernice

Amanda Abbington has presented new text messages to the BBC, complicating the investigation into Giovanni Pernice's behavior on Strictly Come Dancing. Abbington alleges Pernice made crude and sexual comments during rehearsals, and claims BBC producers were horrified by footage of his behavior. Pernice denies all allegations and has left the show, while Abbington fears the BBC may bury the findings due to concurrent controversies involving other BBC figures. The investigation has been delayed, and the BBC has emphasized the seriousness of the claims but declined to comment on specifics. Abbington has expressed that her experience on the show led to PTSD, and police are investigating threats made against her.
