Former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has weighed in on Amanda Abbington and the ongoing Strictly Come Dancing scandals involving two professional dancers
Piers Morgan has branded Amanda Abbington “a nasty troll”, with the former Good Morning Britain anchor now weighing in with his thoughts on the ongoing Strictly Come Dancing scandals.
Strictly Come Dancing is currently plagued in scandal. Professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima have both left the show in recent weeks.
Graziano kicked Love Island star McDermott during training and has blamed his behaviour on “intense passion and determination.
Giovanni clashed with his partner, Amanda, who had previously called his actions “unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean”. He denies the claims.
Amanda Abbington, 50, dropped out of the BBC competition after being partnered with Giovanni, with her since saying that she felt “abandoned” by BBC bosses, with her now speaking out in her first TV interview. Amanda, who has starred in Mr Selfridge and Sherlock, told Channel 4 news this week: “It’s been brutal, and relentless and unforgiving. The aftermath has been something that I wasn’t expecting.”
And now controversial broadcaster Piers Morgan has weighed in. Writing in his latest column for The Sun, Piers said: “And then there’s Amanda Abbington who has spent the past eight months on a self-pitying publicity tour in which she portrays herself as Lead Victim at the supposedly devil hands of Italian pro dancer Giovanni Pernice.”
He then spoke of his own personal experience and brutally branded Amanda a “nasty little social media troll very happy to dish out man-hating verbal abuse when it suits her”. Piers said that she has “reinvented herself as a modern-day Joan of Arc, branding Pernice a mean, cruel vicious bully who all but burned her at the sparkly stake”.
Piers went on to add: “She was at it again in a new Channel 4 News interview where she wept about her ‘shocking and horrifying’ nightmare, without saying exactly what was so shocking or horrifying.” Piers also touched on an allegation involving Brendan Cole shouting at Emmerdale star Claire King during rehearsals, and “lightly patted Fiona Phillips on the bottom”. He said: “And I’ve seen harder spankings in the Carry-on films which is why Fiona’s never complained about it and said about Brendan at the time: ‘He deserves me to do well, he’s lovely.’”
This comes as the pros train for the new series amid speculation on the celebrities who will be joining the cast this autumn. One famous face rumoured to be competing is Nick Knowles. The DIY SOS presenter, 61, is reported to have been in talks with the BBC for months. A BBC source told The Mirror that he has signed up for the show – despite the ongoing number of scandals surrounding it.
