The show must go on! Giovanni Pernice flashes a huge smile as he arrives for his latest tour date while supportive BBC plug his new prime time TV series after Amanda Abbington 'holds talks with his other ex Strictly partners'


Giovanni Pernice shrugged off his latest Strictly crisis as he arrived for his live show on Sunday afternoon, as his rift with actress Amanda Abbington shows no signs of going away.

On the website of her lawyer firm Carter-Ruck it says: 'Persephone specialises in media and reputation management work, encompassing defamation, privacy and harassment, together with data protection and intellectual property litigation.' The BBC said earlier this year that they would not be investigating Giovanni's behaviour with Amanda, with a spokesperson saying: 'There is a constant dialogue between the senior production team and contestants to ensure any concerns are addressed swiftly.' Giovanni, who is currently on tour with his stage show and is set to star with Anton Du Beke in a travel series on Monday, hinted last month he'd return to Strictly later this year for the last time.
