Strictly Come Dancing professionals are reportedly deeply worried about the well-being of their celebrity partners on the BBC show, following a recent scandal involving pro dancer Giovanni Pernice.

Giovanni Pernice Scandal

Giovanni Pernice, a professional Strictly dancer, was accused of misconduct by actress Amanda Abbington, his partner on the show. Abbington cited medical reasons and PTSD after their pairing, alleging that Pernice mistreated her during training.

Internal Investigation Launched

The BBC has initiated an internal investigation into the allegations made against Giovanni Pernice, who has denied any wrongdoing but is reportedly facing legal action from three former Strictly partners.

Concerns Over Lack of Evaluations

Professional dancers on the show are concerned that they may face complaints if they are paired with vulnerable celebrities. Unlike many reality shows that conduct comprehensive tests on contestants, Strictly does not have similar evaluations in place.
