The investigation into Giovanni Pernice could drag into next year (Image: BBC) As the BBC's probe into Giovanni Pernice on Strictly Come Dancing continues, there's been an update as the investigation "could drag into next year", according to The Sun . The Italian dancer, 33, has been the subject of damning allegations since his former partner, Sherlock actress Amanda Abbington , claimed the BBC reality show left her with post-traumatic stress disorder. The 52-year-old went on to reportedly claim Giovanni "stamped on her foot" during his "militant" training sessions on the programme.
Now, a source has alleged to The Sun : "Those involved have been told the probe could well drag on into next year. Of course, the last thing the BBC needs is the findings to be released in the middle of this series." "Bosses are under enormous pressure to make sure the investigation is extremely thorough," the source also claimed.
A BBC spokesperson has now told Express.co.uk : "We recently issued a statement urging people not to indulge in speculation about complaints related to a high-profile show.
