Did Melissa from Abbington beat Kennedy and become the first person to win $1,000 in 2025?
This week, Jacki and Lyle react to Giovanni Pernice's first television interview since the release of the results of the BBC's internal investigation into allegations made by Amanda Abbington about her experience working with him on Strictly Come Dancing. Interviewed by Christine Lampard on Lorraine, Pernice gets his version of events across, explaining how he had only intended to push Abbington as hard as he did as he felt she stood a good chance of winning the competition, whilst acknowledging his tough training style and expressing his relief that, in his opinion, the most serious 11 of the 17 allegations were cleared by the BBC. Jacki and Lyle agree that Pernice performed solidly in the interview, although Lyle outlines his view that he wasn't 'sparkling' throughout whilst Jacki discusses how he was 'blindsided' by questions late in the interview that mentioned a statement from Abbington's solicitor and previous comments made by Laura Whitmore, who had previously also danced with Pernice on the show. Jacki asks Lyle what he would advise Pernice to do next, with both Jacki and Lyle agreeing that he and his team should take their time before deciding next steps after what was at times a chastening interview, with Lyle using the example of GB News as perhaps being an outlet his team should look to steer clear of! Christine Lampard's (formerly Bleakley) interview style also comes under scrutiny, with Jacki and Lyle agreeing that her body language was at times very closed off, and Jacki offering the opinion that there may have been a slight bias on display due to Lampard's friendships with Abbington, Whitmore and Ranvir Singh, who had also appeared on Strictly and partnered with Pernice in a previous series. The Irish ITV host's surname allows Lyle to, as ever, bring football into the conversation!Artwork & music by Lyle FultonGet in touch via lylefulton@hotmail.comMore information at www.therestispr.comFollow us on Twitter - @TheRestIsPR Hosted on Acast.

This week, Jacki and Lyle discuss the recent developments in the situations involving both Amanda Abbington and Phillip Schofield, with a particular focus on the decisions they and their comms teams have made, and whether they have helped or hindered their respective reputations. Amanda Abbington recently received and apology from the BBC regarding the complaints she made about her Strictly Come Dancing professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice. However, whilst some of her claims were upheld, many of the allegations were thrown out by an independent investigation conducted by the BBC, leaving both sides feeling both vindicated and frustrated in equal measure. Abbington has since conducted more interviews explaining her situation and the experience she had on the hugely popular BBC programme, with Pernice using an entirely different tactic by remaining silent for much of the investigative process. Jacki discusses her belief that it is in fact Pernice who has conducted the better comms strategy by remaining largely out of the picture while the investigation was ongoing. She goes on to say Abbington has not come across well at all in any of her interview appearances, most notably in her interview with Krishnan Guru-Murthy in the immediate aftermath of these allegations coming to light. Lyle agrees with Jacki for the most part, with the pair analysing whether this was in fact the fault of the PR team around Abbington who should have advised her better when it came to these appearances. Conversation then turns to Schofield, with Jacki having had the chance to consume the second and third episodes of his Cast Away programme and Channel 5. The 'mic drop' at the end of the final episode did not impress Jacki and Lyle at all, with Lyle even going as far as to claim very few people will have paid too much attention to a gesture Schofield likely hoped would spark debate! Jacki again laments the decision-making of those around Schofield who, she believes, should have known better than to choose this particular programme for his return to our TV screens. There's time for many a 'first-person' statement from the pair in what is a particularly fiery episode!Artwork & music by Lyle FultonGet in touch via lylefulton@hotmail.comMore information at www.therestispr.comFollow us on Twitter - @TheRestIsPR Hosted on Acast.

This week, Jacki and Lyle discuss a scandal that has had the UK talking this week, and one that has dominated the build-up to one of the nation's most-watched TV shows - the Strictly Come Dancing scandal. Jacki and Lyle analyse what has allegedly taken place in the rehearsal rooms of one of the UK's most beloved entertainment shows, with allegations levelled at Graziano Di Prima and Giovanni Pernice by reality TV star Zara McDermott and actress Amanda Abbington respectively. Di Prima is alleged to have kicked, hit, and spat at McDermott during training sessions for the show, which have been revealed to last up to 10 hours on certain days as pro dancers and their celebrity partners vie for the coveted Strictly trophy. Abbington, meanwhile, has publicly accused Pernice of 'sexual bullying', most recently in an interview with Krishnan Guru-Murthy on Channel 4 News. The allegations are now being investigated by the BBC, and Director General Tim Davie revealed recently that the broadcaster had taken steps to ensure situations like this would not happen again, including having Strictly producers present at every training session to observe and ensure the safety of the contestants. Jacki and Lyle discuss how exactly it came to this, as well as the importance of risk assessing projects like this ahead of time. Jacki praises the response of the BBC, and Lyle agrees whilst also insisting that the better situation would have been for the BBC to have acknowledged these concerns sooner and adopted a more proactive risk assessment strategy as opposed to a reactive one. Jacki offers her own opinion on the merit, or lack of, in Abbington's interview with Channel 4, before she puts Lyle on the spot in asking whether he would take up the Strictly invite if offered! Previous Strictly scandals, of an ironically very different kind, are discussed, before Lyle's relative dancing talents are brought to the fore!Artwork & music by Lyle FultonGet in touch via lyle@dimoso.com or info@therestispr.comMore information at www.therestispr.comFollow us on Twitter - @TheRestIsPR Hosted on Acast.

[]On New Year's Day 2012, a facebook post stopped The Baker Street Babes in their tracks. Amanda Abbington was asking how to become a Baker Street Babe. After we recovered (it took some time), we began a delightful conversation with Amanda about Sherlock and beyond. After a few months of schedule dancing, work, school, and New Zealand, The Babes (Curly, Ardy, Turk, & Kafers) and Amanda were finally able to meet up and what you're about to listen to and read is what came of it. We can honestly say this was such a delight and a treat. Not only was it just fun, but it was insightful. Amanda has been dubbed The Queen of Fandom by BBC Sherlock enthusiasts, and rightfully so. she's reached out to fans unlike anyone else, breaking The Fourth Wall and embracing fan culture. Incredibly charming, witty, and caring, she has become quite special to many of us. Please note this episode was recorded at the end of April and in a restaurant. While perfectly listenable, it may be worthwhile to follow along in the transcript. For those who don't know, Amanda Abbington is an English actress and comedienne who has appeared on television and stage. She is best known for her roles in the 2005 comedy sketch show Man Stroke Woman and the 2007–2008 comedy After You've Gone with Nicholas Lyndhurst. She has also appeared in recurring series such as Coupling, Casualty, and Dream Team. She is the longtime partner of British actor Martin Freeman, who plays John Watson in Sherlock. She has a facebook group devoted to her, suitably entitled: . (A partner to her husband's .) You can follow her on twitter at and her and Martin's delightful (and hysterical) dogs
