THE BBC has apologised to Amanda Abbington over the Strictly bullying scandal – but Giovanni Pernice has been cleared of almost all abuse allegations.
After months of waiting, the findings of a probe into Giovanni’s behaviour have been published this afternoon.
The bombshell report comes just weeks after the new Strictly season kicked off without Giovanni, who quit in May.
It concludes that Giovanni was not abusive, did not make threats and was not intimidating.
The report also finds that there was no aggressive or physical contact between Giovanni and Amanda.
In a statement, the broadcaster said: “The BBC has now concluded its review into the complaints made by Amanda Abbington against Giovanni Pernice.
“We take any allegations of bullying and harassment very seriously and this review has taken time due to its complex nature and our desire to ensure a rigorous and robust process was undertaken.
“Strictly Come Dancing is a family show and we rightly expect very high standards.
