Amanda Abbington 'receives substantial settlement' over Strictly Come Dancing bullying row

Amanda Abbington has reportedly received a substantial settlement from the BBC following a bullying row on Strictly Come Dancing. The 52-year-old actress alleged that her professional dance partner, Giovanni Pernice, subjected her to inappropriate, mean, and nasty bullying during the 2023 competition. These claims prompted the BBC to launch an official investigation into the behaviour of Pernice. The legal dispute between the actress and the broadcaster has now concluded with this financial agreement.
