Former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Giovanni Pernice has found himself at the center of controversy after facing allegations about his behavior on the show. His ex-dance partner, Amanda Abbington, has criticized him for being “unnecessary, abusive, cruel, and mean” during their time together on the popular dance competition.

Despite the accusations, Pernice remains defiant, declaring “I’ll be back” during a recent performance in Manchester. The 33-year-old Italian dancer, who has been a fixture on Strictly since 2015 and won the show in 2021, has denied the allegations of abusive or threatening behavior.

Abbington, who withdrew from last year’s series in October, has spoken out about her experience with Pernice, stating that she couldn’t sit back and let him mistreat others. She also claimed that the BBC had been aware of his behavior for years.

During a recent show with Strictly judge Anton Du Beke, Pernice addressed the allegations, reassuring fans that he would return to the show. Despite the controversy, fans at the event expressed their support for Pernice, with one attendee stating, “He will be back.”

The BBC has confirmed that Pernice will not be returning for the upcoming series of Strictly and has stated that they are investigating the allegations. Pernice’s spokesperson has maintained his innocence, stating that he has provided evidence to the investigation and is confident of clearing his name.

As the drama unfolds, Strictly fans are left wondering about the future of the show and how it will move forward in its 20th-anniversary year with these allegations hanging over it. The BBC has emphasized its duty of care procedures and commitment to fairness in handling complaints related to individuals involved in the show.
