As Giovanni Pernice continues to maintain his innocence amid controversial allegations made against him while a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing , he's had one main supporter by his side. Now that the BBC show is far behind him as he focuses on the pursuit of other ventures, he has made no secret of his love of judge Anton du Beke , as the pair carry out their Together live tour. The pair have been performing in front of a packed crowd since they kick-started their tour.
But over the weekend, many were left scratching their heads as he made a bizarre comparison to Netflix drama Baby Reindeer , which tells the story of Martha who stalks Richard Gadd's character Donny. Performing at the Hexagon Theatre in Reading on Saturday June 15, the 33 year old dancer reportedly told the audience: "I have basically become a bit obsessed with you. I like everything you do.
I want to be as great as you are. It is a bit like Baby Reindeer. When I met you life changed.
" Baby Reindeer is the hit series said to be inspired by real life experiences of comedian Richard Gadd who claimed he was stalked by a woman. In the show, one of the main characters is a convicted stalker, but the woman on whom the character is based has complained that she is identifiable, and is now taking legal action against the streaming service. Richard played struggling comic Donny while Jessica Gunning who played Martha, seemingly had similarities to the real-life Martha.
