Laura Whitmore kept it stylish in a strapless black dress at the Glamor Of The Year Awards on Tuesday after speaking out after Giovanni Pernice’s BBC report was published.

Laura also appeared with Giovanni on the show in 2016 and was one of the stars who spoke to the BBC as part of the investigations after what she described as his “inappropriate” behavior on the show.
She said she first raised concerns in 2016 with the show and in August this year accused the BBC of misleading her over her experience with Giovanni.
And breaking her silence on Monday, she spoke out after the investigation was completed, saying on her Instagram Story: “I hope this helps people realize that they should not be subjected to abusive behavior in the workplace.”
“On the Internet things can be twisted and there is much more, but in black and white the complaints were confirmed and apologies were made.” And the perpetrator no longer works for the channel.’
In 2018, Laura also shared that she didn’t enjoy her time on Strictly with Giovanni, leaving the competition in week seven feeling “destroyed” and admitting she “cried every day.”
In July, Laura confirmed she had spoken to the BBC about Giovanni’s “inappropriate” behavior on Strictly.
He claimed he initially raised his concerns with the BBC six years ago and said he had spoken to six former Strictly stars about their time on the show.
In an Instagram post, Laura wrote: “I was trying not to comment on recent press speculation until the BBC review is complete but I feel there is a lot of misinformation in the press and I want to help and show support by setting the record straight. “.
She added a touch of red lipstick and a black leather bag.

GLAMOR’s Women of the Year Awards return for another year to celebrate some of the biggest names in music, television, film and sport.
Laura showed off a hint of cleavage in the low-cut dress.
She posed for photos with Glamor editor-in-chief Samantha Barry.
‘I was asked to speak to the BBC along with six people I know (who deserve anonymity because they don’t want to be dragged into the press), about inappropriate behavior they experienced similar to mine with the same individual.
‘I initially raised my concerns in 2016. I thought my experience was specific to me, but I have since learned I was wrong.
‘The point of this is to show a pattern of behavior that I think needs to stop. My evidence is to support other people’s experience. It’s a shame that it takes this for someone to be heard.
“I’m not looking for anything, just the acceptance that what happened to me in the rehearsal rooms during my time on BBC Strictly was wrong and that it won’t happen to anyone else again.
‘As I have not made an official complaint and am providing evidence from my experience to support the investigation, not all communication will be passed on to all parties involved.
‘Misinformation is being put in the press, so I want to set the record straight. Victim blaming must stop or we will never improve.
‘I have tried to speak in the right way. “I know the BBC and all the media continue to do everything they can to be better, but for that to happen we need to talk.”
