Sherlock star Amanda, 50, was questioned via video-call last week by two ex-Met detectives probing her allegations about her former pro partner Giovanni, 33.
It is believed they discussed “new evidence” as well as claims of sexual comments during rehearsals.
Those claims, first reported by The Sun on Sunday last month, are vehemently denied by Giovanni.
Last night a source close to the inquiry said: “The BBC is taking this extremely seriously.”
Bosses had been expected to announce the findings a week ago, but it is thought it was delayed by the Huw Edwards scandal.
The source added: “Giovanni maintains he’s done nothing wrong, and Amanda insists everything she has told the BBC is true.
“So whatever decision the BBC comes to, it is unlikely to be the end of the matter.”
Meanwhile “training room researchers” will now sit in on rehearsals for eight hours a day across four days a week throughout the series.
A source said: “It will also be protocol for the researchers to move between different training rooms so they don’t become too pally with the professional dancers and celebrities.”
“We will not be commenting on individuals.”
Amanda Abbington’s recent questioning by ex-Met detectives regarding allegations against her former dance partner Giovanni Pernice has caused quite a stir. The Sherlock star, aged 50, faced a second round of inquiries by BBC officials, who are taking the matter very seriously.
The discussions, conducted via video call, reportedly involved new evidence and claims of inappropriate behavior during rehearsals.Despite denials from Giovanni, the BBC’s thorough investigation into the matter continues.
The delay in the announcement of findings, attributed to the Huw Edwards scandal, has only added to the tension surrounding the issue. Both Amanda and Giovanni stand by their respective accounts, setting the stage for a potentially contentious resolution.
In light of recent events, the BBC has taken proactive measures by hiring 15 new staff members to monitor rehearsals closely. These “training room researchers” will observe proceedings for long hours, ensuring a vigilant eye on interactions between professional dancers and celebrities.
The strict protocol of rotating researchers to different training rooms aims to maintain professionalism and prevent any undue familiarity from developing.As the investigation unfolds, stakeholders await the BBC’s final decision with bated breath. The commitment to upholding stringent processes and protocols underscores the organization’s dedication to ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all involved in the production.
