The BBC “Evidence Gathering” After Complaints Against ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Star Giovanni Pernice – report


The dance professional was reported to have quit Strictly Come Dancing this week.

The Times of London quotes a city law film who has told UK media that the BBC is now “evidence gathering” after allegations made against Giovanni Pernice, who has been with the show for over a decade and won it in 2021 with his partner, deaf actress Rose Ayling-Ellis. And The Sun newspaper reports that actress Amanda Abbington, who was partnered with Pernice last year but left the show after a few weeks citing medical reasons, is one of the complainants, along with two unnamed others. It was previously reported that she had requested the BBC share video footage of her rehearsal time with Pernice.
