Strictly dancer Giovanni Pernice has been cleared by the BBC of physical aggression against his dance partner Amanda Abbington.
The BBC apologised to Abbington, saying it had assessed and “upheld some, but not all” of her complaints about Pernice’s behaviour during her time on the show.
In a statement, the BBC said: “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.
“At the time, although the production team took steps to address the issues as they understood them, ultimately these were not enough.”
