Anton Du Beke 'is standing by' Giovanni Pernice after he quit Strictly Come Dancing amid the BBC's 'serious misconduct' probe. The pair are appearing together in a live show called Giovanni and Anton Together: The Live Tour, which will begin in June.
Amanda Abbington has deleted her social media accounts just hours after it was confirmed that Giovanni Pernice will not be returning to Strictly Come Dancing .
Last week a male celebrity reportedly joined the group of women making complaints about Giovanni's behaviour. The Sun reported that the unnamed fellow dancer suffered 'significant emotional distress' on the show, that required professional help. 'After three women came forward, a man has now joined their ranks. He personally reached out to the women at the heart of this unfolding crisis, offering them his support and full backing,' a source told The Sun.
'He has also been in touch with Carter Ruck and told them what he knows, and shared his experiences. These experiences were, at times, very tricky.' It was previously reported that the rehearsal tapes between Amanda and Giovanni will not be released to the actressafter she demanded them to prove her claims of bullying.
The insider continued: 'The BBC will have reviewed the footage and considered if it was possible to redact content showing him. Amanda previously rubbished reports Giovanni had asked the BBC to record his rehearsals with the actress over growing concerns about her behaviour - claiming she had requested their dance practices to be filmed, not him.
'You don't understand how awful this all is,' she said. 'Giovanni's fans have started trolling me now. I have had to come off social media and I'm getting death threats.' Despite the furore, head judge Shirley Ballas has stood by the under-fire pro and will join him in hosting a number of dance classes in London next month.

'But of course they can't. It just shows that if she doesn't like what is being said, she shouts loudly about it.’
