Amanda Abbington, the Sherlock actress who has sparked a duty of care scandal on Strictly Come Dancing, has criticized the BBC‘s handling of her concerns.

In an emotional 45-minute interview with Channel 4 News, Abbington accused the BBC of failing to take seriously her complaint about dance partner Giovanni Pernice, who strongly denies wrongdoing.

The actress, who appeared on Strictly last year, claimed that the BBC is sitting on 50 hours of footage, which producers have acknowledged to her is problematic.

On Tuesday, BBC director general Tim Davie apologized to Strictly contestants who have not had a positive experience on the show.

Donald Trump falsely claims Taylor Swift’s endorsement with AI-generated posts – fans react

Donald Trump has shared AI-generated images falsely suggesting he has received support from Taylor Swift and her fans.Last night (August 18), the former President shared a series of posts on his Truth Social account, including screenshots of AI images of women wearing shirts with the slogan “Swifties For Trump”.Another image of the ‘Midnights’ singer edited in the likeness of Uncle Sam read: “Taylor wants you to vote for Trump”, to which he added the caption: “I accept!”It’s a surprising move, given his allies pledged a “holy war” against her earlier this year. Swift has not officially endorsed any candidate in the 2024 election and is yet to respond to Trump.The suggestion that his campaign is gaining popularity among Swifites has been quickly rebutted on social media, with many clamouring for legal action.

Love Island's Georgia Steel's fresh catfish distress over £32k con by fake footballer lover

Georgia Steel first rose to fame on Love Island back in 2018 - and headed back into the villa for second time this year, after which she told OK! how she was viciously trolled - but now she's using her platform to raise awareness for others.The 26 year old has filmed a documentary, The Footballer Fraudster - which is now available on Netflix - after she was swindled out of £32,000 in 2019. Georgia met Medi Abalimba, who at the peak of his career signed for Derby County for £1.2 million in 2009, at a London nightclub and the pair embarked on a six-week romance during which he lied to her about his true identity.The pair’s romance came to an end when pictures of the duo were posted online and Georgia’s manager called the Love Islander to tell her the truth about Medi - that he was jailed in 2014 for pretending to be ex-Chelsea footballer Gael Kakuta. When she checked her back account, Georgia discovered that around £32,000 had been spent.
