Former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Giovanni Pernice has broken his silence in an interview following the Amanda Abbington bullying row earlier this year
Professional dancer Giovanni Pernice has broken his silence following his departure from Strictly Come Dancing earlier this year. Giovanni was investigated by the BBC following complaints of bullying from his celebrity partner Amanda Abbington , of which six of 17 were upheld.
As well as appearing as a professional dancer on Strictly for eight years, Giovanni also co-hosted a travel show with friend Anton Du Beke, in which the pair visited Giovanni’s native Sicily in the first show and then went to Spain, where Anton’s mother is from, for the second. The series was a success but Giovanni said he did not know if there would be any more made. “No we don’t know yet,” he replied when asked.
“It is the same as you said to me before about Strictly, I don’t know? I will tell you why, I am focused on the eight months of tour that is coming up,” referring to his stage tour with Anton that is due to start in June 2025.
