The producers of Strictly Come Dancing are facing a difficult challenge as they try to find female celebrities to join the cast for the upcoming season. This comes after allegations were made against professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, causing quite a stir in the media. There have been reports that the BBC has launched an investigation into Giovanni's behavior after former contestants came forward with accusations.
It was rumored that Amanda Abbington, Laura Whitmore, and Ranvir Singh, who have all danced with Giovanni in the past, met to discuss their experiences with him on the show. However, Giovanni has since defended himself on social media, strongly denying any allegations of abusive or threatening behavior. He is eager to clear his name and move past these accusations.
Despite Giovanni's efforts to clear his name, it seems that the allegations have had a ripple effect. There are reports that he will not be returning for the next season, and this has caused difficulties for the show's booking team in finding female celebrities to participate. In the past, some women have been hesitant to join the show due to the infamous "Strictly curse," while others struggle with the demanding schedule. However, the current controversy has made it even harder to secure celebrity contestants for the upcoming season.
According to a source, "Strictly bosses have been left reeling by the backlash against Giovanni." The situation has caused concern among potential contestants, with some feeling uneasy about being involved with the show while it is under a shadow. The BBC has launched its own investigation into the matter, and Giovanni has also hired his own legal team to handle the accusations.
Last year, Giovanni won the season with Rose Ayling-Ellis, making headlines with their impressive dancing skills. However, some of Giovanni's past partners have not had such a positive experience. Sherlock actress Amanda Abbington, who was paired with Giovanni in the previous season, quit the competition early, citing concerns about her mental health. It has been reported that Giovanni asked BBC bosses to film their rehearsals, as he was worried about Amanda's behavior. This raised some eyebrows and caused speculation about the dynamics between the two.
The next season of Strictly Come Dancing is set to air later this year, and fans are eagerly anticipating the return of their favorite show. However, this recent controversy has cast a shadow over the upcoming season. The BBC has been contacted for comment, and we are all waiting to see how this situation will unfold.
