Months after her exit from the BBC series, Abbington alleged that Pernice's behaviour was "unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean" during their time on the show. Pernice denied all allegations of "abusive and threatening behaviour".
The BBC's investigation into Abbington's complaints concluded in September 2024, with the BBC issuing an apology to the actress.
The out-of-court settlement was a five-figure sum and was paid by BBC Studios, meaning it did not come from the licence fee.
The BBC declined to comment when approached by Radio Times.
"Strictly Come Dancing is a family show and we rightly expect very high standards. While competition can be tough, rigorous and demanding, we want the show to ultimately be a joyous and transformative experience. It is a great shame if this hasn’t been the case for everyone who has appeared on the show."
"At the time, although the production team took steps to address the issues as they understood them, ultimately these were not enough. This is why the measures we have taken to further strengthen our existing protocols are so important.
"The BBC heard from a number of individuals in making its findings. We want to thank them for participating. The BBC has already taken extensive steps to enhance our duty of care for everyone on the show and a full note of these steps is published alongside this statement."
Following the exits of Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, the BBC announced that Emma Willis, Johannes Radebe and Josh Widdicombe will replace them.
Strictly Come Dancing is available to watch on catch-up on BBC iPlayer.
