Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice has said he is “relieved” the BBC investigation into his behaviour when teaching former contestant Amanda Abbington is over and that he “wouldn’t change” his teaching style going forward.

Sherlock actress Abbington made allegations against the Italian dancer earlier this year, claiming she was subject to a “toxic environment” and “inappropriate, mean, nasty bullying”.
