Janette Manrara has opened up on the scandal that has rocked Strictly Come Dancing, as she tries to avoid getting involved
Janette Manrara has expressed her disappointment over the recent Strictly Come Dancing controversy. The seasoned professional, who has transitioned to hosting the programme's companion show It Takes Two, chose not to contact her "great friends" and fellow professionals Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima after allegations from their 2023 celebrity partners Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott led to their departure.
She continued, expressing her mixed feelings, "It's complicated and I'm a bit of a girl's girl. I just don't know. They were both really great friends and I feel very saddened by everything that's happening, not just to them but to the involved."Janette also shared her initial reaction to the allegations, noting, "I was shocked, because you just never want to hear that. But it is a dance show, it gets physical and it is a competition.
Giovanni has strongly denied Amanda's claims of "unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean" behaviour in rehearsals for the show, and says he looks "forward to clearing name" amid an ongoing BBC investigation. In happier news, Janette is celebrating her daughter Lyra's first year, shared with husband Aljaz Skorjanec who is making a comeback to Strictly following Giovanni's exit.
