The BBC has finally broken its silence on the ongoing speculation surrounding Giovanni Pernice's role on Strictly Come Dancing. Rumors have been swirling for months about his future on the show, with recent claims suggesting that he has already departed and will not be returning later this year. These reports prompted the broadcaster to launch an internal investigation after accusations were made about Giovanni's behavior.
According to sources, the BBC has been gathering evidence and is taking the matter seriously. However, they have made it clear that they do not comment on specific individuals or their complaints. They also urged the public to refrain from indulging in speculation and reminded everyone that individuals involved in a complaint have a right to confidentiality and a fair process.
The spokesperson for the BBC continued to address the situation, stating that they have a duty of care to everyone involved, including those who have raised the complaint and those who have been accused. While they acknowledge that Strictly Come Dancing has been a positive experience for many, they will always handle any issues raised with care, fairness, and sensitivity. They also stated that they will not be commenting further on the matter.
Giovanni, 33, has also spoken out on social media, denying any allegations of abusive or threatening behavior. He expressed his disappointment and stated that he looks forward to clearing his name. These allegations first emerged months ago, when it was reported that three former contestants had instructed lawyers to look into Giovanni's behavior. It was also rumored that they had met to compare their experiences with him on the show.
One of these contestants was Amanda Abbington, who quit Strictly after just five weeks for personal reasons. It later emerged that she had requested video footage of her rehearsals and had been diagnosed with mild PTSD after her time on the show. Sources close to Amanda revealed that she had a terrible experience with Giovanni, and described his behavior as bullying and abrasive. They also stated that she tried everything to make it work, but ultimately had to walk away.
The BBC has since launched an investigation after the three contestants came forward with their complaints. A spokesperson for a top legal firm confirmed that they are currently gathering evidence and could not comment further at this time. The situation has been described as a "nightmare" for the BBC, and sources reveal that they had been aware of "rumblings" about Giovanni's behavior for some time, but had not taken any action until now.
Despite facing backlash from fans and supporters, Giovanni's former partners have been praised for their bravery in speaking out. They have received a lot of support from the public, and it is hoped that their actions will lead to a fair and just resolution. Giovanni himself has expressed his gratitude for the love and support he has received, and maintains that he has always strived to be the best dance partner he can be.
In the end, it is clear that the BBC is taking this matter seriously and will handle it with care and sensitivity. As the investigation continues, it is important to remember that everyone involved has a right to confidentiality and a fair process. Let's continue to support all those involved and wait for the truth to come to light. As always, Strictly Come Dancing remains available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
