BBC row: It's Giov Amanda

STRICTLY Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice has been handed a massive boost in his BBC bullying case, the Mirror can reveal.

It was widely reported that other celebrities such as Laura Whitmore and Ranvir Singh were set to join Amanda Abbington, 50, in lodging complaints with the BBC.

In fact, Amanda herself has suggested there are “five or six” people who have been affected by Giovanni’s behaviour.

But sources say the only formal allegations put to Giovanni after the BBC investigation involved Amanda.

This would suggest the BBC already ruled Giovanni does not have a case to answer in relation to the others – or that they did not lodge a complaint in the first place.

A BBC source said: “The narrative – certainly from Amanda – is that there has been a tsunami of complainants to the BBC.
