As Strictly pro Giovanni Pernice continues to come under fire for his training style on the hit BBC show, his former celebrity partner Debbie McGee has spoken out in his defence

But TV and radio presenter Debbie McGee, 65, who appeared on the show in 2017, very pointedly defended her ex-pro partner Giovanni as she took to Instagram. "Strictly Come Dancing has always taken duty of care incredibly seriously and there is a constant dialogue between senior members of the production team and the contestants to ensure any concerns are addressed swiftly.
