Giovanni Pernice cosies up to Italian Strictly partner as she brands him a ‘rollercoaster’ before falling to the floor --[Reported by Umva mag]

GIOVANNI Pernice looked cosy with his Italian Strictly Come Danicng partner Bianca Guaccero as she branded him a “rollercoaster” in rehearsals. The professional dancer, 34, looks reinvigorated on the programme in his homeland having quit the UK version back in May amid an investigation into his training room conduct.

23rd July: BBC boss Tim Davie breaks his silence on the ongoing allegations against Strictly, saying he is ‘deeply sorry’, adding: “Hundreds of people, be they pros, contestants or crew have been part of it and had a brilliant experience.

“At the same time if someone thinks there was something wrong or they want to talk about their experience then of course we want them to raise that with us. Be in no doubt we will take it seriously, listen and deal with it as appropriate.”
