Aljaz Skorjanec announces his return to Strictly Come Dancing in hopes to 'make baby daughter Lyra proud' after Giovanni Pernice's shock exit


Joining The One Show, Aljaž confirmed he will be tearing up the dancefloor once more for the brand-new series this autumn.

The BBC launched an investigation after Giovanni was accused of 'bullying behaviour' while working with celebrity contestants on the dancing show, including Amanda, Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore. Amanda later rubbished reports Giovanni had asked the BBC to record his rehearsals with the actress over growing concerns about her behaviour - claiming she had requested their dance practices to be filmed, not him. The actress is said to have met with Laura and Ranvir earlier this year for an 'emotional summit' to 'compare notes' about their time working with Giovanni amid the BBC's probe.
