Former Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice confirms he is RETURNING to UK television as he joins BBC rival for brand new show following bullying probe


The professional dancer, 34, left the BBC show after his former celebrity partner Amanda Abbington made numerous complaints about his behaviour.

Celebrities taking part in the next series, as reported by The Sun newspaper, are: Strictly Come Dancing professionals Giovanni and Kai Widdrington, Loose Women's Denise Welch and husband Lincoln, EastEnders Danielle Harold and Coronation Street's Kimberley Hart-Simpson plus Christine McGuiness and Duncan James. The Hunters are an elite squad, comprising top police and military personnel equipped with state-of-the-art resources, including live CCTV, ANPR, GPS tracking, drones, tracker dogs, mobile phone surveillance, and strategic publicity campaigns—all backed by the full powers of the state. It is one of Mr Pernice's wrongdoings which can now be disclosed after the much-anticipated verdict was unveiled on Monday which cleared him of the most serious allegations of physical aggression, but upheld verbal bullying and harassment.
