All the Strictly Come Dancing stars supporting Giovanni Pernice – and those staying silent

Giovanni Pernice is being supported by some of his fellow Strictly Come Dancing stars as he faces allegations about his way of working.

After developing a close friendship with Rose Ayling-Ellis, with whom he won the glitterball trophy in 2021, the former EastEnders star has yet to publicly support Giovanni. Others who haven’t offered their support for the world to see include Vito Coppola, Gorka Marquez – who appeared with Gio on Adventures in Spain – and Lauren Oakley, a long-time pal of the dancer. In January, Debbie shared a photo with Giovanni on social media after Amanda Abbington announced her diagnosis of PTSD from their experience on Strictly.
