Giovanni Pernice, a former professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, may possibly make an appearance on another television show later this year. According to reports, ITV is considering him for one of their most popular programs.
The 33-year-old Giovanni has been a hot topic for weeks after his ex-Strictly partner, 50-year-old Amanda Abbington, accused him of bullying during their time together on the show. She left the series after five weeks and has since given interviews claiming that she experienced humiliating and sexual behavior from Giovanni. Other former dance partners of his have also allegedly raised concerns, with Amanda stating that she has spoken to other women with similar experiences.
Despite these allegations, Giovanni has denied any wrongdoing and has continued to remain active on social media and in the public eye. However, it seems that he may have a new opportunity on the horizon. Rumors are circulating that rival channel ITV is interested in signing him for their upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and that he could earn a £100,000 fee for participating.
In an interview with Mail Online, a source revealed that Giovanni has stated he will never return to Strictly, but has exciting prospects in the works. They added that he is a popular figure and there is a lot of interest in him from other channels. The source also mentioned that he is looking forward to moving on from the controversy and getting his career back on track.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has a history of casting high-profile celebrities who have faced scandals in their careers. Past contestants have opened up about past struggles and controversies, including Caitlyn Jenner discussing her transition and comedian Seann Walsh addressing his infamous kiss with Strictly's Katya Jones.
The BBC is currently conducting an investigation into the allegations made against Giovanni and it is expected to conclude soon. His team has claimed to have evidence that will prove his innocence, including a 28-minute audio recording of a conversation between him and Amanda where she reportedly thanked him for his support and referred to herself as a "nightmare."
In the midst of this scandal, other former Strictly contestants have also come forward with allegations against their partners or the show itself. The BBC's director-general has issued an apology to any contestants who may have had a negative experience on the show and stated that they will not tolerate unacceptable behavior.
While Giovanni's future on Strictly remains uncertain, it seems that he may have a new opportunity to showcase his talents on another popular television program.
