Inside Giovanni Pernice’s new life after being cleared of ‘physical aggression’ claims – from new ‘Strictly’ role to ITV return rumours

Giovanni Pernice has a lot to look forward to in his new life following the bombshell Strictly probe - from his film debut and sell-out shows to a reality show stint

In June, Giovanni left the BBC show following allegations of bullying from his 2023 dance partner – actress Amanda Abbington. Showing no signs of slowing down, Giovanni is also making his film debut in the 1980s-inspired fantasy movie, Master of the Dance. Giovanni plays a King’s dance master in the flick, and stars alongside the likes of Back to the Future’s Christopher Lloyd and Lord of the Ring’s Sean Astin.
