BBC apologises to Strictly star over bullying complaint

Some complaints made by the Sherlock star about the Italian professional she was coupled with on last year’s series have been upheld – but he has been cleared of the more serious allegations levied against him.

After a nine-month investigation, it’s been reported by BBC News that Abbington’s complaints of verbal bullying and harassment have been acknowledged, while the findings concluded that Pernice was not physically aggressive to his celebrity partner.

Announcing the result of the investigation yesterday, the BBC said: “We have assessed the complaints and we have upheld some, but not all, of the complaints made. We want to apologise to Amanda Abbington and to thank her for coming forward and taking part. We know this would not have been an easy thing to do.”

City finally end horror run - but bigger worries remain

It was a landmark occasion for Pep Guardiola. Not because he took charge of Manchester City for the 500th time, joining only Les McDowall in a select club, but because a manager who was a byword for winning actually won a game. For a manager with 39 trophies in his career, such results seemed routine.
