Giovanni Pernice with Anton Du Beke (Image: BBC Studios) Strictly Come Dancing sensation Giovanni Pernice has received a significant lift in the ongoing BBC bullying row, according to exclusive details obtained by the Mirror. Despite widespread rumours that stars like Laura Whitmore and Ranvir Singh were poised to back Amanda Abbington 's grievances against the BBC , it appears that only Abbington's allegations have been formally addressed to Giovanni following the investigation. This revelation implies either the BBC has dismissed any concerns regarding Giovanni's conduct towards other celebrities or that no formal complaints were actually submitted.

A source from the BBC disclosed: "The narrative - certainly from Amanda - is that there has been a tsunami of complainants to the BBC . But the truth of the matter is that Giovanni has only been asked for his response to Amanda's claims. This would suggest two things.

One they haven't made a formal complaint in the first place. Or, two, the BBC felt it wasn't serious enough to warrant inclusion in their evidence dossier to put to Giovanni for response." Abbington recently reiterated her stance on Channel 4 News, telling Krishnan Guru-Murthy: "I know a lot of people went in to speak to them.

I'm the official complainer. I think there's about five or six (other complainants) from what I can gather, but there's three main people, who've made complaints, mine's the official one." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
