Strictly's Giovanni Pernice 'receives full support of BBC bosses as they have emergency meeting following his feud with Amanda Abbington'
The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 33, was said to have had a falling out with actress Amanda Abbington who is alleged to be suffering from PTSD following her experience on the show.
It has TV chiefs fearful future contestants will refuse to work with the dancer, who has previously garnered negative feedback from former partners including Laura Whitmore, 38, Ranvir Singh, 46, and Richie Anderson, 36. Giovanni is one of Strictly's most high-profile dancers and an emerging BBC light-entertainment face courtesy of his travel series with judge Anton Du Beke, 57, which could leave bosses with a problem. His Strictly highlight was undoubtedly winning the 2021 series with deaf actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, 29, earning praise and a BAFTA TV Award for their silent dance to Symphony.
