Peter Andre recently came under fire for defending some of the professionals on Strictly Come Dancing. The 51-year-old appeared on the show back in 2015, where he was paired with Janette Manrara. Although they didn't win, Peter has since come to her defense, as well as other professionals who have been caught up in the ongoing scandal surrounding the show.
In a video posted on social media, Peter expressed his concern over the fact that so many names were being dragged into the scandal. He specifically mentioned Janette, as well as Anton Du Beke, Aljaž Škorjanec, and Giovanni Pernice. He felt compelled to speak up for them, as he was a part of the show himself and witnessed first-hand how kind and professional they were.
Peter also acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and the need for any misconduct to be investigated. However, he didn't think it was fair for these professionals to have their names dragged through the mud without any solid evidence against them. He believed they deserved a break and didn't want to see their reputations tarnished.
The post received mixed reactions, with many praising Peter for defending his former dance partner, while others criticized him for invalidating the experiences of those who have come forward with allegations against some of the professionals. However, Janette herself commented on the post, thanking Peter for his support.
The ongoing scandal first began when Giovanni was suspended from the show after allegations were made against him by former partners, including Amanda Abbington. He has denied these claims. And just recently, another professional, Graziano Di Prima, was axed from the show after accusations of physical violence towards his partner during rehearsals. He has since apologized for his actions.
Janette also found herself involved in the controversy, as her former celebrity partner, Will Bayley, revealed that he suffered a lifelong injury after she made him redo a jump during rehearsals. Will clarified that he didn't blame Janette and praised her for being supportive and professional throughout the experience.
Despite the scandal, Strictly Come Dancing is set to return to the BBC later this year. It's clear that Peter has a lot of love and respect for the show and the professionals involved, and he hopes that the investigation will bring justice for all those involved.
