Amanda Abbington has spoken out on her former Strictly Come Dancing professional partner Giovanni Pernice as she branded him 'cruel and abusive'. Giovanni denies all allegations
The Sherlock actress complained to the BBC about her experience in the training room on Strictly Come Dancing with the Italian dancer, the ex-boyfriend of Maura Higgins.
“I know what happened in that room, it’s on video and I have no problem with anyone seeing that. It’s a duty of care that is needed," she told The Sun on Sunday. Amanda explained that she feared there would be a backlash if she spoke out and complained to the BBC but felt it was the right thing to do.
"Those who have followed my journey on Strictly Come Dancing over the last decade will know that I am passionate and competitive. No-one is more ambitious for my dance partners than me. I have always striven to help them be the very best dancers they can be. This has always come from a place of love and wanting to win - for me and my dance partners. Thank you all once again for your continued love and support! Giovanni.
