STRICTLY STAR GIOVANNI PERNICE FACES BACKLASH OVER TRAINING METHODS
Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice, known for his impressive dance skills and record-breaking performances, is facing criticism over his intense training regime. Former dance partners have come forward claiming that Giovanni takes things to the extreme when it comes to preparing for the show. The BBC has responded to these allegations, stating that the professional dancers for the upcoming season will be announced soon. This comes after reports emerged that Giovanni’s name was missing from an internal memo listing the new lineup.
Despite the controversy surrounding his training methods, no formal complaint has been filed with the BBC. Giovanni took to Instagram to address the allegations, denying any abusive or threatening behavior and expressing his confidence in clearing his name. The Italian dancer first appeared on Strictly in season 13, where he reached the final with his partner, Georgia May Foote. However, they were runners-up to Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani.
In his second year on the show, Giovanni was paired with TV presenter Laura Whitmore. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in week seven after a dance-off with Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton. The following year, all eyes were on Giovanni and his partner, former ballet dancer Debbie McGee. The couple surprised the nation by making it to the final but ultimately lost out to Joe McFadden and Katya Jones.
For his fourth season, Giovanni danced with Steps singer Faye Tozer. Once again, he showcased his talent by reaching the final for the third time in four years. However, rumors of clashes between Giovanni and Faye during rehearsals have emerged. The upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing is highly anticipated, and fans are eager to see if Giovanni will return as a professional dancer. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
Strictly Come Dancing star Michelle Visage stepped in as a replacement for her former co-star on his Let Me Entertain You tour. The pair had reached the ninth week of the competition before losing out in a dance-off. Despite rumors of behind-the-scenes arguments, Michelle appeared to support the pro-dancer amid his feud with Amanda Abbington. Sign up now to receive news notifications from the Daily Express.
