"It's All Going On!" Strictly’s Giovanni Pernice Rejects Claims Of 'Abuse And Threatening Behaviour'

Talk's Kevin O'Sullivan talks about Giovanni Pernice rejecting allegations that he displayed “abusive or threatening behaviour” while working as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.
The statement from the 33-year-old Italian professional dancer comes amid reports that the BBC is looking into complaints about his conduct on the show.
A legal firm acting on behalf of the complainants said the broadcaster is “evidence gathering” but the BBC has not confirmed any probe has begun.
Kevin says: "The show is in a terrible state of disarray"

These guest celebs would be very well paid for their appearances. If they were not prepared to work for the money, they should NEVER have signed up. Best of luck to Giovanni Pernice in clearing his name. Strictly will not be the same without him. BBC should reconsider their decision.

He´s a Virgo, he´s a perfectionist, Abbington is clearly trying to destroy him. Perhaps she wanted him all to herself and got jealous, who knows, but to me, he´s the best dancer on the show!!

[@margueritahancock5472]

He was the best dancer great personality and a good looking guy he won't be short of work who in their right mind would give these woman work one on GMB..the other one an actress never heard of the irish woman ...she should have stayed in Ireland not a nice person full of herself does like to flirt with the men hmm

[@jewelssunsun9450]

​@margueritahancock5472 Ranvir was completely gooey-eyed over him. I was really surprised when her name came up as one of the complainants.

[@TruthSeekingElf]

@@jewelssunsun9450 Yes she was, it was embarrassing, she was all over him like a rash and when she couldn´t have him to herself she complained he was ´´too strict´´. Disgusting behavior by a grown woman, she made herself look utterly desperate for a man, any man!

[@Carol-or9jl]

You do not know the truth and I hope the BBC show the results.

[@maureenrobinson1105]

Gio not on the show will loose many viewers. A.A deserves all the criticism she gets.Why sign up to a show if you are not prepared to face tough times.Gio ❤ great guy

[@teresabunce6741]

His job is to teach his partners to dance, it is not to coddle them.

[@mandymckeown8625]

There’s a very fine line between coddling and abusing

[@martinataylor7702]

The thing I don't understand is anyone who takes on this show must realise what hard work it's going to be mental and physically demanding . You have professional dancers trying to teach very complex moves that take dedicated. And many years to perfect . So anyone who is taking this on must know this surely. You get the odd celebrity who just can't dance and you know that they are not going to be able so they turn it into comedy . And she was very good when she was dancing and that didn't come by not working hard . I would think it's very disciplined to be able to get the results. I know I couldn't do it

[@Outlier999]

The only one who’s been abused is Giovanni. Debbie is standing by him, but where are Georgia, Faye, and Rose 🌹? Doesn’t he have “a piece of her heart?”

[@sharronhorsey6168]

I think a commentator should at least be aware of the subject he is discussing...

[@margueritahancock5472]

There is no way he would stand on her feet deliberately abbington would not just kiss Giovanni on the cheek she would give him two or three little kisses all over his face they are on a witch hunt meeting up discussing what to do next ranvir singh would cry in front of the judges before the scored her looking for the sympathy vote as for the irish woman she had it in for him from day one giovanni and his girfriend split up she was an actress he was always on tour they never saw a lot of each other they met on strictly both said they were still on good terms... the irish woman never heard of herwas on strictly she has giovanni for a partner but the woman he split up with was her bessie mate behind the scenes she was flirting with him asking for compliments which he never really gave her when training you get blisters on your feet bad back exhausted they all do these woman could not take it, there is talk of suing Giovanni ridiculous its compensation they are after l believe he has left strictly was is the point after these woman have badmouthed him he has now spoke up and said he will clear his name in court all the pros are ambitious and want to win.... kevin he is Italian a lovely man made his home here ten years ago when he joined strictly these woman are trying to wreck his career does lots of good charity work in this country what a terrible shame he was the best dancer and photographer on strictly did all his own tours when strictly was finished they all said he was great to work with...

[@LizzyLou-mw2fp]

I, agree with , you 1000% A great DANCER dealing with. Divas 🌹🍀

[@sharonfirminger3667]

He's one of the best dancers!!!! Stay Gio!!!!

[@Carol-or9jl]

Why doesn't Giovanni tell his fans to calm down and wait for a result, he is inciting fans so if he is innocent why doesn't he shut his mouth, I honestly believe he is guilty.

[@Outlier999]

Of course he’s very competitive. That’s what he gets paid for. The show is a dance COMPETITION!

[@LizzyLou-mw2fp]

Poor GIO, RAN INTO A FEW. DIVAS. WITH. BIG EGOS THE DIDN'T MIND WALKING OFF WITH LARGE. FEES GUSHING ABOUT HOW LOVELY. GIOVANNI, WAS

[@elainebannister1574]

Love Giovanni, think before these people sign up to doing the show they should be reminded it's not going to be easy, guess the money is the attraction !!! Stop trying to ruin people's careers it's a terrible thing to do.

[@jayneknight5893]

She was always going to be trouble who ever she got for a dance partner very strange women i feel for him ! Bet they loved the money though

[@lindaalford4920]

PTSD for dancing, give me a break

[@mandymckeown8625]

PTSD happens when you are in some cases close contact with a narcissistic person I believe them

[@carolevans1850]

Celebrities hahahahahahaha. He's being done over.

[@paulinehughes2463]

Stop judging him,keep your noses out and stop trying to ruin a great dancer,that poor man must be feeling isolated,and look at how he taught rose that was a beautiful partner ship ,it’s probably jealousy,bbc should grow up get rid of that show and set up something else,it’s finished

[@stevehutchins3429]

A host presenter talking about something he has never watched saying gio eas brazilian he has no scoobey doo

[@Guitar387]

The ridiculously high expectations and severe criticism by the judges are breeding an unhealthy toxic, mentally damaging competative competition. If the show runners expect the professional not to be strict to get perfection out of their partners in such a competitive toxic severely critical competition with ridiculously high standards that the show runners have created then they need to lighten up allot and treat it as a joke, you can't have both. this is not the professional dancer fault they are put under immense pressure, expectations for perfection . The producers and show runners need to look at what they’re doing and change it fast. You can not pair celebs with professionals and expect it to work, dancing to the standards the judges and show runners expect takes insurmountable hours of hard graft work and dedication. They need to cancel this trash before more serious harm is done.

[@AngelaMcLean-ib2eh]

Total withhunt on Gio, all the best Gio. You will win

[@dejavu7988]

Clash of personalities now is a catalyst for women making allegations.. let that sink in..

[@peterdockerty8077]

[@AOK342]

Always thought he was a nasty piece of work.

[@mandymckeown8625]
