Kate Garraway says Giovanni Pernice 'will be missed' amid Strictly exit reports


Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway has weighed in on the reports that professional dancer Giovanni Pernice has quit Strictly Come Dancing, saying that "he will be missed"

The Good Morning Britain host, 57, confessed that if the rumours of professional dancer Giovanni's departure from the BBC show are true, he'll be sorely missed by his fellow stars and the viewing public who've enjoyed watching him light up the dance floor for almost ten years. The BBC was reportedly "very keen" to keep the 33 year old Italian dancer, who's found himself in hot water over his rigorous training methods with previous celeb partners, including actress Amanda Abbington. The under-fire dancing pro has reportedly ended his eight-year stint on the show months after he faced allegations over his tough training methods from previous celebrity partners, including actress Amanda, who suddenly left midway through the last series.
