A Strictly Come Dancing judge has openly shown his support for Giovanni Pernice in the midst of controversy surrounding alleged 'abuse' claims and legal complaints.
Live tour with Anton Du Beke
The judge in question, Anton Du Beke, has broken his silence to back Giovanni as they prepare to embark on a two-month live tour together, starting on June 14 in Hayes, West London.
BSL interpreters and TV ventures
Giovanni, known for his partnership with deaf contestant Rose Ayling-Ellis, has ensured that some performances on the tour will have British Sign Language interpreters. Additionally, the duo has previously collaborated on a travel show, 'Anton & Giovanni’s Adventures in Sicily', which aired on the BBC.
Allegations and response
Amid complaints made against Giovanni by former celeb partners, including Amanda Abbington and Laura Whitmore, the Italian star has denied any wrongdoing and expressed gratitude for the support of his fans.
Korina Travis, a professional dancer who has worked with Giovanni, has also spoken out against him, stating that she is glad the truth is coming to light.
Giovanni, who has since left the series, has vowed to clear his name, emphasizing his passion and competitiveness in dance and his commitment to helping his partners succeed.
