Amanda Abbington has no regrets about Giovanni Pernice’s bullying investigation on Strictly Come Dancing
Sherlock actress Amanda, 50, has made a series of allegations about her pro Giovanni’s teaching methods and has described his behaviour as “unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean”. He strongly denies all the allegations.
‘Amanda was reassured during her first interview when BBC investigators told her her account was entirely credible, and it is now up to the corporation to publish its findings.
‘Her biggest concern, from day one, has been to ensure that others do not have to go through the same traumatic experience as her.’
The source added that she believes the BBC needs to do much more to “help, support and protect those involved in the programme”.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Amanda for comment.
This comes after the publication reported that she is “deeply disappointed” with BBC bosses over fears they are “protecting” Giovanni amid the harassment investigation.
It was also recently revealed that Amanda found BBC bosses’ line of questioning “highly offensive” amid the ongoing misconduct investigation into the show.
The actress has been questioned for a second time over an illicit video the dancer shared with her, as well as a “lewd comment” he made about another famous contestant when the video was sent.
Giovanni was also reported to have made a rude comment about a member of Amanda’s own family, only for BBC bosses to “effectively ask” him if the dancer had said it as a light-hearted joke.

A BBC spokesman said: “As we have said before, we will not comment on individuals or engage in speculation.”
Amanda shares her daughter Grace and son Joe with her ex-partner Martin Freeman, 52, with whom she was married for 16 years, between 2000 and 2016.
This comes after Martin reached out to her for support following the scandal and was someone to lean on amid a turbulent time, as was her fiancé Jonathan Goodwin, The Sun reports.
The investigation into Giovanni is expected to be completed soon by the BBC after several weeks of investigations.
This comes after it was reported that Amanda recently handed over more texts with new revelations about Giovanni’s behaviour on Strictly.
It has been claimed that the dramatic intervention has thrown the BBC’s investigation into Giovanni’s professional behaviour into chaos and “changed the course of the investigation”.
Amanda has launched a series of accusations about Giovanni’s teaching methods, calling his behaviour “unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean”. He strongly denies all the allegations.
In an interview, Amanda compared the dance show to “the trenches” and told Channel 4 News that BBC producers had been left “horrified” by the clips which allegedly also showed “humiliating behaviour of a sexual nature”.
In another, where he spoke to Christine Lampard about Lorraine, he said: ‘It was inappropriate, it was mean, it was nasty, it was bullying and I put up with it for five, six weeks.
‘It all started very early and when it started happening, I shut down because I recognized those warning signs.
“And then it would close and it would be hard to get in, and that would be a self-fulfilling prophecy.”

Speaking about her schedule on the show, she said: ‘I went into the rehearsal room every day. I’ve been in rehearsal rooms for 32 years.
‘I know what rehearsal rooms must be like.
‘I don’t care what background you’re from, whether it’s dancing, acting or singing, you have a duty to bring compassion, understanding, sensitivity and kindness to that rehearsal room.
“And that hasn’t been extended to me (Strictly). So I just said I don’t think this is right.”
