The BBC 'found Amanda Abbington's claims about Strictly's Giovanni Pernice excessive and have never received a formal complaint about him'
The BBC found Amanda Abbington's claims about Giovanni Pernice excessive and have never received a formal complaint about him, a new report has claimed.
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. Pernice, 33, 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.
