The BBC has apologised to former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Amanda Abbington after the Giovanni Pernice investigation. Pernice was at the centre of an internal BBC probe into "serious workplace misconduct" after Abbington quit Strictly early last year and later claimed she was being bullied by the pro dancer.

The BBC has concluded its review into ex-professional dancer Giovanni Pernice on its beloved reality dance show Strictly Come Dancing after actress Amanda Abbington accused him of “mean and abusive” behavior.

BBC apologises to Abbington over Strictly as Pernice cleared of abuse claims - Amanda Abbington and Giovanni Pernice were paired on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023, and Abbington subsequently complained about his behaviour.
