Giovanni Pernice has spoken out about the investigations made into him following complaints made by his former Strictly Come Dancing partner, Amanda Abbington. Pernice was removed from the BBC show after he was accused of bullying, harassment, and verbal abuse in 2024, allegations he strongly denies. Speaking to Alex Armstrong and Ellie Costello on GB News Breakfast, the professional dancer said he "never had any complaints in the room." A spokesperson for Amanda Abbington said: "Mr. Pernice has persisted in trying to reframe the BBC investigation and the findings that it made against him. "To suggest he has not been given the chance to give his aside of the story is ludicrous, given the through investigation conducted by the BBC which he was part of, but unsurprising - seems unhappy with the outcome. "To suggest that the finding against him related only to use of swear words is also wrong, but both parties were asked to keep the contents of the investigation report confidential.
