GIOVANNI Pernice has been supported by a former celebrity dance partner following his recent career troubles. Strictly dance pro Giovanni is currently being probed by the BBC into his conduct during training after three former partners made complaints against him. However, as Giovanni vows to clear his name, he has made efforts to ignore the swirling drama around him.
Instead, his latest Instagram post, uploaded three days ago, urged fans to vote for him and Anton Du Beke's TV show for the National Television Awards. Next to the video, which sees him promise Strictly judge Anton that he will get his initials tattooed on his wrist if they win, he wrote: "Let’s see if I can keep my promise..
. vote now". Debbie McGee, who was partnered with Giovanni in 2017, wrote: "On it" alongside a heart emoji.
The simple display of support comes after it's believed all of Giovanni's former partners have been approached as part of the probe. Together, the pair made it through to the series finale, coming in second place. The Sun revealed last week that three of the star's nine former partners have made official complaints to the BBC .
To of which are believed to be Amanda Abbington, who partnered with Gio in the 2023 series, and Laura Whitmore, who was his celeb partner in 2016. He has since vowed to clear his name in a statement posted publicly on his socials. "To my dear fans, I reject any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour , and I look forward to clearing my name," he wrote.
