BBC bosses 'in ticking time bomb with Giovanni Pernice scandal as they race to wrap up misconduct investigation before Strictly returns in two weeks'
BBC bosses are reportedly racing to finish the Giovanni Pernice misconduct investigation before the new series of Strictly Come Dancing starts in just two weeks.
Sources have told the Mail that the accusations have prompted bosses to extend the inquiry to look at other matters, and individuals, involved with the dance series as they prepare for its 20th anniversary. It means that Giovanni, who has already let his frustrations at the investigation be known, has faced an even longer wait for an outcome after three former dance partners, including Amanda, instructed lawyers to make 'serious complaints' about his conduct. Fellow dancer Graziano Di Prima has since been sacked by the show following similar claims of inappropriate behaviour towards TV personality Zara McDermott, with whom he was paired in 2023.
