As the scandal surrounding the popular BBC show, Strictly Come Dancing, continues to deepen, dancer Giovanni Pernice was recently spotted in central London. The 33-year-old, known for his appearances on the show, was seen looking pensive as he entered a tube station in Covent Garden. He was dressed in a tailored black suit with a crisp white shirt, wearing AirPods and carrying a black monogrammed suitcase and a Louis Vuitton backpack.
According to onlookers, Pernice appeared to be going on a trip and spent about 10 minutes on his phone before catching his train. This outing comes after the BBC confirmed that he will not be returning to the show this year due to allegations about his conduct. The broadcaster is currently investigating these claims, which were brought to light by his former partner, actress Amanda Abbington.
In a recent interview, Abbington revealed that she was diagnosed with PTSD after her experience on Strictly. She unexpectedly quit the show mid-way through the series, citing personal reasons for her exit. Pernice's previous partners, Laura Whitmore and Ranvir Singh, have also reportedly accused him of misconduct and allegedly met with Abbington to discuss their experiences.
Pernice has denied all allegations and stated that he is looking forward to clearing his name. However, the BBC has already dismissed another professional dancer, Graziano Di Prima, over claims that he "kicked and hit" his former partner Zara McDermott. McDermott addressed these allegations on Instagram, stating that there were videos of particular incidents that were incredibly distressing to watch.
Di Prima has since apologized for his actions and admitted that his intense passion and determination to win may have affected his training regime. Another male Strictly professional has also been identified as a "person of interest" in the ongoing probe into the show. In light of these scandals, the show has introduced new welfare measures, including the presence of a chaperone during rehearsals.
However, it has been reported that the show is facing difficulties in casting female celebrities due to the allegations of backstage bullying. Despite this, Strictly Come Dancing is expected to air on the BBC later this year.
