‘Amanda was greatly reassured during her first interview when she was told by the BBC investigators that her account was fully believed – and now it is down to the corporation to release their findings.
‘Her biggest concern, from day one, has been to ensure that others don’t have to go through the same traumatic experience that she has.’
The source added that she believes the BBC need to do much more to ‘help, support and safeguard those taking part in the programme’.
A representative for Amanda has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
It comes after the publication reported that she is ‘deeply disappointed’ with BBC bosses over fears they’re ‘protecting’ Giovanni amid the bullying probe.
It was also recently revealed Amanda has found BBC bosses line of questioning ‘highly offensive’ amid the show’s ongoing misconduct probe.
The actress has been quizzed for a second time about an illicit video shared with her by the dancer as well as a ‘lewd remark’ he made about another celebrity contestant when the video was sent.
Giovanni is also reported to have made a crude comment about a member of Amanda’s own family, only for her to ‘effectively be asked’ by BBC bosses whether the dancer meant the remark as light-hearted banter.

Amanda shares daughter Grace and son Joe with ex partner Martin Freeman, 52, who she was for 16 years from 2000–2016.
It comes after Martin reached out to her to support after the scandal and been someone to lean on amid the turbulent time, as well as her fiancé Jonathan Goodwin, reports The Sun.
It is expected that the probe into Giovanni will soon be completed by the BBC after several weeks of investigations.
It comes after it was reported that Amanda recently handed over more texts with fresh revelations over Giovanni ‘s behaviour on Strictly.
It has been claimed the dramatic intervention has thrown the BBC investigation into professional Giovanni’s behaviour into chaos and has ‘changed the course of the probe’.
Amanda has made a series of accusations about Giovanni’s teaching methods and has described his behaviour as ‘unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean’. He strongly denies all of the claims.
In one interview, Amanda compared the dance show to ‘the trenches’ telling Channel 4 News that BBC producers had been left ‘horrified’ by clips that also allegedly exhibited ‘humiliating behaviour of a sexual nature’.
In another, where she spoke to Christine Lampard on Lorraine , she said: ‘It was inappropriate, it was mean, it was nasty, it was bullying and I put up with it for five, six weeks.
‘It started very early on and when it started to happen I would shut down because I recognised those red flags.
‘And so I would shut down and it would be difficult to get in, and that would be a self-fulfilling prophecy.’

Talking about her schedule on the show, she said: ‘I was going into the rehearsal room every day. I’ve been in rehearsal rooms for 32 years.
‘I know what rehearsal rooms are supposed to be like.
‘I don’t care what background you’re from – whether it’s dancing, acting, singing – you have a duty of care to bring into that rehearsal room compassion, understanding, sensitivity and kindness.
‘And that wasn’t extended to me (at Strictly). And so I just said I don’t think this is right.’
