Strictly Come Dancing's 20th anniversary special at Buckingham Palace 'scrapped' amid Giovanni Pernice's misconduct probe - despite the King and Queen adoring the show


The beloved BBC show will celebrate the milestone in December with the King and  Queen being huge fans.

Giovanni, 33, is at the centre of a bullying row after claims made of misconduct by his Strictly partner Amanda Abbington , 52, and two other women, which led to him quitting the show amid the scandal Amanda later rubbished reports Giovanni had asked the BBC to record his rehearsals with the actress over growing concerns about her behaviour - claiming she had requested their dance practices to be filmed, not him. The actress is said to have met with Laura Whitmore and Ranvir Singh earlier this year for an 'emotional summit' to 'compare notes' about their time working with Giovanni amid the BBC's probe.
