Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice are set to kick off their highly anticipated tour in just one month. The dynamic duo, known for their appearances on Strictly Come Dancing, will be showcasing their talents in their own live show. However, the tour faced some doubts due to complaints made about Giovanni and his alleged behavior on the show. These complaints prompted the BBC to launch an investigation.
Despite the controversy, it has been reported that Giovanni will not be returning to Strictly this year. However, he will still be involved in other projects. A source close to the situation revealed to The Mirror that the tour with Anton will go ahead, despite the difficult time Giovanni has been going through. The source emphasized that Giovanni has not been found guilty of anything and that the tour will proceed as planned.
Anton and Giovanni have been friends for many years and have even had their own TV show where they explore Sicily and Spain. Unfortunately, Daily Star has reported that their show has been put on hold for now.
The reports against Giovanni arose after he was paired with actress Amanda Abbington on last year’s Strictly. Abbington later claimed to have suffered from PTSD and physical bruises during rehearsals. However, Giovanni has stated in an interview that he was only acting in her best interest. He has since released a statement assuring his fans that he looks forward to clearing his name.
Giovanni has vehemently denied any claims of abuse with his dance partners. He explained that his passion and competitiveness always come from a place of love and the desire to win. Despite the controversy surrounding him, Giovanni remains focused on his future endeavors.
