Ranvir Singh has expressed her feelings following the conclusion of the BBC’s investigation into Giovanni Pernice.
She has experience of Giovanni’s teaching as the two were paired together on the 2020 series. The 47-year-old has said she is glad that Amanda Abbington received an apology, in rare comments.
While appearing on Good Morning Britain, she was asked by Susanna Reid what she thought of the conclusion.
‘I was pleased yesterday to see that the BBC investigation had concluded – it had been going on for some time – and that it ended with an apology to Amanda. I was pleased to see that,’ she shared.
‘I think that it can only be a good thing that these extra welfare measures have now been put in place on the back of this investigation because ultimately, Strictly is about a show that everyone should be having a good time on.

She summarised: ‘It’s entertaining, it’s joyful and everybody should be having a good time whether they work on the show, and the audience at home should feel comfortable that it’s what everyone is experiencing.’
Professional dancer Giovanni Pernice’s behaviour towards actress Amanda, 50, – and his dance partner in 2023 – was investigated by the BBC, and a verdict was reached on Monday September 30.
The broadcaster issued an apology to Abbington, 50, and upheld some of her complaints against Pernice, 33, but cleared him of the most serious allegations.
