Anton Du Beke 'is hugely standing by' Giovanni Pernice after he quit Strictly Come Dancing amid the BBC 's 'serious misconduct' probe.
Giovanni, who was smiling and appeared in good spirits, continued: 'Because we have to remember everything about day one. We are back on tour. It feels nice.' The news comes as it emerged an investigation was launched into claims surrounding Giovanni's behaviour on Strictly Come Dancing. 'The Back Together tour will go ahead, and he and Anton will be standing up on stage together as they have done for many tours.'It's been claimed that despite hinting on social media that a second series could be in the works, BBC bosses have told Giovanni that his Adventures With show with Anton will not be renewed.
It comes after it was revealed he is 'fully co-operating' with the BBC's investigation, and has launched a fight back by legal firm Schillings On Wednesday, Schillings confirmed they had been hired by the troubled Strictly dancer, in what television insiders describe as a 'bold move' after his former dancer Amanda Abbington and two other women instructed lawyers at Carter Ruck to complain to the BBC.
The move, some say, means 'war' after Amanda claimed at the weekend Giovanni has left her bruised after stamping on her foot. Just over a week ago, The Mail revealed that Giovanni parted company with Strictly three weeks ago amid the BBC launching an investigation into his conduct after a group of his former dance partners instructed lawyers to make 'serious complaints' over his conduct.
In recent days, former Strictly contestants Ellie Leach reportedly unfollowed Giovanni after he rejected any allegations of 'threatening and abusive' behaviour. But, in recent days it's been claimed by sources that Rose is 'shocked' by the allegations but 'believes what the others are saying' and 'won't be speaking about it publicly.'
