Stacey Dooley, the 37-year-old star who won Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 with her husband Kevin Clifton, recently spoke out about the accusations against her former Strictly co-star Giovanni Pernice. In response to questions about the allegations of abusive or threatening behavior made against him, Stacey urged people to believe women when they come forward with their experiences.
During an interview on BBC Breakfast, Stacey clarified that she did not have a friendship with Giovanni and had not worked with him for years. Therefore, she did not feel it was her place to comment on the situation. However, she did express her hope that all the women involved were okay and emphasized the importance of believing women when they come forward.
Stacey also shared that she and her husband spend most of their time at home, being "boring" and drinking tea on the sofa. While Kevin is friends with many of the Strictly pros, Stacey admitted that she does not know enough about the specific incident to comment on it.
Meanwhile, the show is reported to have launched an investigation after three former contestants allegedly consulted lawyers. A spokesperson for law firm Carter Ruck confirmed that they had received numerous serious complaints and were in the process of gathering evidence.
Giovanni, who has been on Strictly for almost a decade, has denied the accusations and stated that he rejects any suggestion of abusive or threatening behavior. He also expressed his ambition and passion for helping his dance partners be the best they can be.
Stacey and Kevin's victory on the show in 2019 was a highlight of their careers, and Stacey has since become a beloved broadcaster and presenter. She and Kevin have been praised for their chemistry on and off the dance floor and continue to support each other in their respective careers.
