A Strictly professional has broken the reported BBC ban (Image: BBC) A Strictly Come Dancing star has spoken about axed Giovanni Pernice , despite reports doing the rounds that the show's stars have been told to not publicly mention the ongoing scandal surrounding the Italian dancer. However, Michelle Tsiakkas, who has danced on the show for three years, has broken her silence as she appeared on the red carpet at the TRIC Awards on Monday. She told The Sun : "We're sad about losing Giovanni - we are a big family at the end of the day, so we just want to continue being that family and supporting each other.
Of course, sometimes unfortunate situations happen." It was reported just yesterday (June 24) that Strictly chiefs are said to have imposed a ban on stars regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding Giovanni, 33. The dancer has been embroiled in a growing scandal over the past few months, following complaints from several of his former Strictly colleagues about his training methods behind the scenes, one of whom was reportedly Amanda Abbington .
