Did Giovanni Pernice waltz away from Strictly with a backup plan? Dancer quietly made surprise career move a month before controversial show exit... as he's hit by fresh claims of 'horrendous behaviour' by pro dancer amid BBC probe


Last month, the professional dancer, 33, quietly set up two new companies, which suggest that he's embarking on a life outside of the BBC show.

The surprise new career moves comes as he continues to be at the centre of a BBC probe into 'serious workplace misconduct', while he also faces fresh claims from a former dancing partner that he 'did horrendous things' to her while peforming at private functions. He will appear alongside Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd in the movie, which follows the tale of a lonely goatherd - who cursed at birth to never take a wife - bargains with a witch to reverse the spell if he can complete her three 'impossible' tasks. Talk of a new career comes after Giovanni faced further claims of workplace misconduct on Monday evening after a professional dancer accused him of 'horrendous' behaviour away from the BBC show.
