Amanda Abbington reveals chilling death threats during Strictly Come Dancing

In the UK, actress Amanda Abbington has revealed the personal toll of the past year following a BBC investigation into her allegations against her former Strictly Come Dancing partner, Giovanni Pernice. Abbington claimed that Pernice was abusive and cruel during their time on the show, which led to a six-month inquiry by the BBC. The investigation upheld some of her claims, resulting in an apology from the corporation, allowing Abbington to finally move on from the distressing experience. Initially, Abbington expressed excitement about being paired with Pernice, but her feelings changed as she faced what she described as bullying and mistreatment. Despite the backlash and death threats she received after coming forward, she stated that she has never regretted her decision to speak out. The BBC's acknowledgment of her complaints has been seen as a vindication not only for her but also for others who have faced similar issues on the show. Pernice has denied the allegations and expressed a desire to clear his name, claiming to have evidence that could prove Abbington was lying. Following the investigation, he will not be participating in the current season of Strictly Come Dancing, and his representatives indicated that he is in a vulnerable state due to the situation. Abbington has been invited to meet with BBC senior management to discuss the changes they plan to implement to prevent future incidents, emphasizing the importance of learning from this experience to protect others in the future.
