Giovanni Pernice's Shocking On-Stage Comments

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice found himself in hot water after branding his ex-dance partner Amanda Abbington a 'mad woman' during a stage appearance with Anton Du Beke.

Giovanni's Defiant Stance

Despite leaving the BBC show amid bullying allegations, Giovanni remains unapologetic and vows that audiences have not seen the last of him in the spotlight.

Allegations of Bullying

Amanda Abbington came forward with claims of enduring abusive behavior from Giovanni during their time working together, leading to her diagnosis of PTSD. She described his behavior as 'unnecessary, abusive, cruel, and mean.'

Internal Inquiry at BBC

Following the scandal, the BBC launched an internal inquiry into the conduct of their professionals, uncovering a pattern of behavior that was seemingly known but not addressed by senior staff.

Concerns and Criticism

The inquiry has raised concerns about the handling of Giovanni's behavior and the need for a safe and respectful environment in the rehearsal rooms of the popular dance show.
