Amanda Abbington sobs ’50 hours of Strictly footage is being blocked’ in shock claim
A visibly upset Amanda Abbington has claimed that she felt “abandoned” by the BBC during the Strictly controversy, alleging there is 50 hours of rehearsal footage they won’t allow her to see.
The acclaimed actress, aged 50, had a falling out with her professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice. Their strained relationship is now under scrutiny as part of an ongoing investigation by the BBC.
During her first TV interview about the dispute, appearing on Channel 4 news, Amanda voiced: “It’s been brutal, and relentless and unforgiving. The aftermath has been something that I wasn’t expecting. You know, the death threats and the rape threats towards not only myself but my daughter, and threats of death to my son.”
She also revealed that she, alongside her legal team, is working towards getting access to 50 hours of the rehearsal room video footage. Speaking to Krishnan Guru-Murthy, who also took part in the series with Amanda, she said: “There’s 50 hours of footage that’s being blocked. You know, 50 hours is a lot of footage, and a lot of time spent in a room that was toxic.”
