Giovanni Pernice's Struggles
Giovanni Pernice has shared details of what he describes as a “year of hell’ following his involvement in a BBC probe after his time on Strictly Come Dancing with Amanda Abbington. The pro dancer revealed that the experience led to some ‘dark times’ and made him fear for his career.
Looking Forward
As Giovanni returns to UK TV screens in Channel 4's Celebrity Hunted, he expressed his relief at seeing the past year come to an end. In an interview with the Sunday Mirror, he candidly admitted to feeling like his career was over at one point, but he is now ready to move on from the challenging period.
Lessons Learned
Reflecting on the accusations made by Amanda Abbington and the subsequent BBC probe, Giovanni emphasized that he tried to stay calm throughout the ordeal. He acknowledged being a "strict teacher" but expressed that he has learned valuable lessons from the experience and is now focused on taking life day by day.
New Beginnings
Following his departure from the UK version of Strictly, Giovanni participated in the Italian counterpart, Ballando con le Stelle, where he emerged as the winner with his new girlfriend and dance partner, Bianca Guaccero. The couple is now happily together, with Giovanni expressing gratitude for having someone who cares for him and Bianca sharing her joy in finding happiness again.
Celebrity Hunted
Giovanni Pernice will be appearing on Celebrity Hunted alongside fellow Strictly star Kai Widdrington. The show airs tomorrow night at 9 pm on Channel 4.
