Giovanni Pernice introduces Bianca Guaccero to his family as she hails the former Strictly pro an 'incredible person' after confirming their romance


Divorced Bianca Guaccero, 43, and Giovanni, 34, are currently leading the Italian version of Strictly - known as Ballando Con Le Stelle - and the two have also hit it off together off screen.

Giovanni has been rebuilding his life and career after dramatically quitting Strictly following bullying claims by his former dance partner Amanda Abbington, but a probe later cleared him of ten out of 16 allegations. The remaining claims of bullying and harassment were upheld and BBC chiefs apologised to Amanda but Giovanni’s career has shown no sign of being affected as he and Bianca are regularly voted the best couple on the Italian version. Sources close to the couple told The Mirror that Giovanni has been 'under a lot of stress', and there has been a string of arguments between them, after he quit Strictly in May following accusations he bullied celebrity partner Amanda Abbington.
