Ex Strictly star Giovanni Pernice reveals he needed 'support' of girlfriend Bianca Guaccero during his lowest moments following  Amanda Abbington bullying row


Giovanni Pernice gushed that girlfriend Bianca Guaccero was 'was exactly what I needed' following the bombshell allegations made by Amanda Abbington last year.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star, 34, and actress Bianca, 43, were the winning couple on the Italian version of the BBC show, Ballando con le Stelle. But complaints of verbal bullying and harassment meant the BBC issued an apology but Giovanni said he was 'pleased the report has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour'. The couple also stopped by Buckingham Palace with Bianca wrapping up in a black coat and a red scarf and later enjoyed a romantic evening at The Ritz Hotel.
