Amanda Abbington is reported to have received a payout from the BBC about three years after she made a legal complaint connected to her time on Strictly Come Dancing. Multiple outlets say the payment is described as five-figures or “substantial,” following an investigation into allegations she raised relating to Giovanni Pernice.
The reports connect the settlement to a period of scrutiny over Abbington’s claims of bullying and mistreatment during the show. While the outlets describe the outcome as a payout, they do not provide consistent detail on the exact amount or the specific terms. The coverage also varies in its characterisation of the allegations, with some framing them in terms of bullying and others referring more broadly to how her complaint is characterised and handled.
Overall, the sources agree that a complaint by Abbington prompted an investigation, and that a resolution has now involved a payment by the BBC. The reports do not indicate new public findings beyond the settlement outcome.
