The BBC has released the findings of its long-lasting Strictly Come Dancing investigation – almost a year after 2023 contestant Amanda Abbington made accusations against the show.
Abbington, 52, decided to pull out of the show last October and later reported “misconduct” from professional partner Giovanni Pernice. The 34-year-old has been cleared of all abusive behaviour.
A probe was launched by the broadcaster, with the findings finally announced on Monday, September 30.
The verdict has now been revealed, with Pernice cleared of all abusive behaviour he was accused of.
The probe lasted six months and bosses have ruled the choreographer was not abusive, threatening or intimidating.
