Amanda Abbington, 50, has accused her former Strictly Come Dancing partner Giovanni Pernice of abusive behavior, describing it as 'unnecessary, cruel, and mean.' Giovanni, 33, has denied these allegations while Abbington claims to have provided new evidence to the ongoing BBC investigation, which may soon conclude. Amidst the scandal, Abbington has received support from her ex-partner Martin Freeman, who has reached out to ensure her well-being, and her fiancé Jonathan Goodwin, who has been described as a 'rock' during this tumultuous time. Abbington has faced a backlash, including death threats from Pernice's fans, following her complaints. Freeman and Abbington, who share two children, have remained close since their split in 2016, with reports indicating he is concerned about her situation. The investigation into Giovanni's conduct has also included testimonies from others, including allegations from Laura Whitmore regarding inappropriate behavior during her own time on the show.
