Former Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice is "pleased" a BBC review into complaints by former dance partner Amanda Abbington "has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour" by him, his spokesman said.

The review into the actress' complaints about her professional dance partner was launched earlier this year. Giovanni, who was not part of this year’s Strictly professional dancing line-up and has since joined an Italian dance show, previously rejected "any claim of threatening or abusive behaviour".

Sherlock star Amanda previously made accusations about the teaching methods of Giovanni during their time working together on the BBC One dance show last year.

Amanda pulled out in week five of the 2023 series, citing 'personal reasons'. It later emerged she'd made a formal complaint about Giovanni, who refuted any claims of wrongdoing following her claims of "unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean" behaviour.
