Amanda Abbington has reportedly been questioned for the second time by BBC bosses after alleged 'fresh' evidence has come to light amidst her complaint against Giovanni Pernice
The Sherlock actress initially complained about the alleged behaviour she experienced from Giovanni Pernice, who denies all allegations made against him. But new reports claim that she was grilled by bosses via a video call, with two former Metropolitan Police officers joining the call.
Speaking to The Sun, a source claims that evidence includes "sexual comments" made by Giovanni – which he has strongly denied. A source told the outlet: "Giovanni maintains he’s done nothing wrong, and Amanda insists everything she has told the BBC is true. So whatever decision the BBC comes to, it is unlikely to be the end of the matter."
A BBC source said: "The Strictly report and the Huw Edwards case are entirely unrelated." Bosses behind the BBC show recently revealed that staffers on the show will now sit in on all rehearsals so celebrities won't be alone with their professional partners following the allegations. A spokesperson for the BBC said: "Our processes are kept under constant review. We will not be commenting on individuals.
Amanda is said to have requested footage of the duo's 'tense' training sessions, leading to a misconduct investigation. The results of the investigation are expected to be revealed as Giovanni's camp is confident that he will be cleared.
