According to recent reports, professional dancer Giovanni Pernice has requested that BBC bosses film his training and rehearsals with actress Amanda Abbington. This request came after Giovanni became concerned about Amanda's behavior and wanted to ensure that he was protected.
These concerns arose after former contestants on the popular show, Strictly Come Dancing, made accusations about Giovanni's behavior, prompting the BBC to launch an investigation. Rumors also circulated that Giovanni had left the show and would not be returning later this year.
In response to these allegations, Giovanni took to social media to defend himself, stating that he rejects any suggestion of abusive or threatening behavior and looks forward to clearing his name. However, it has now been revealed that Giovanni took an unprecedented step to protect himself by requesting that all his training sessions with Amanda be recorded.
According to sources, Giovanni was unsettled by Amanda's behavior and wanted to ensure that he had evidence to protect himself. This decision was a relief for him and all the footage was reviewed daily by Strictly bosses, who deemed no actions to be inappropriate.
Amanda and Giovanni were paired up last year for the show's last season, but their working relationship was short-lived as Amanda quit the series early. She later asked the BBC for the footage of their training sessions, claiming that she had suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of her time on the show.
As the BBC continues its investigation into Giovanni's conduct, another claim has been made about him sending an offensive video clip to a former celebrity partner. However, it should be noted that Giovanni did not make, commission or appear in the video.
The BBC was informed that the recipient of the video found it to be completely inappropriate and grossly offensive. They also stated that they felt intimidated by it, especially since it was sent just hours before they were scheduled to perform together on live television.
Despite facing backlash from Giovanni's loyal fans, the women who have come forward to speak out against him should be commended for their bravery. In the midst of all this, Giovanni has hired a legal team to represent him, while three of his ex-dance partners have also sought legal counsel.
We have reached out to both the BBC and representatives for Giovanni and Amanda for comment. As of now, Strictly Come Dancing is expected to return to BBC later this year.
