Amanda Abbington has said “what happened to me in that room wasn’t acceptable” as she made claims about the “bullying and aggressive behaviour” of her Strictly Come Dancing partner Giovanni Pernice.

The Sherlock actress added that she wants to encourage people who feel they are in a situation they think is “toxic and unsafe” to complain.
