The dispute between Amanda Abbington and Giovanni Pernice has reached a new level (Image: BBC) Just two days ago, Giovanni Pernice vowed he'd "be back" as he completed the final show in his extensive UK tour with Anton du Beke. According to The Daily Mail, the professional dancer issued a dig at a mystery woman while on stage branding them "mad" but did not mention a name. Just two days later, Sherlock actress Amanda stepped out in a hoodie emblazoned with pictures obtained by the same publication with the defiant message: "You're only as cool as you treat people.

" She is due to appear on Lorraine Kelly's ITV show this week to discuss the allegations she has made against Giovanni in further detail, after making it clear she has no intention of backing down. It follows her interview with the Sun on Sunday, during which she slammed the Sicilian pro's behaviour in rehearsals as "unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean", adding: "I should never have danced with him." She continued: "'I had to think long and hard about making a complaint because I knew the backlash I would get, but I would not have been able to live with myself for future people going on that show [if I hadn't].

" Amanda added that she'd had an "insane" experience after speaking out about his alleged behaviour, including receiving "death threats" online. However, Giovanni has vehemently denied the allegations with the results of a BBC probe expected to be decided within days. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
