Amanda Abbington Disappointed with BBC Bullying Probe

Amanda Abbington, former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, has expressed 'zero regrets' about her allegations against Giovanni Pernice, despite reports that the BBC may discount some of her claims in their upcoming investigation. Abbington accused Pernice of bullying, which he denies, and voiced concerns that the BBC's probe may be a 'whitewash' aimed at protecting him. Friends of Abbington revealed her disappointment with the BBC's handling of the situation, suggesting that it feels like a 'boys' club' and that her experiences, along with those of other women, are being ignored. She has faced significant backlash and personal threats, but remains determined to advocate for change and support for participants in the show. The investigation's findings are expected to be released shortly, amid fears from the BBC about potential fallout and new claims arising thereafter. Giovanni Pernice recently secured a new role on the Italian version of Strictly, further complicating the situation for Abbington.
