Giovanni Pernice, a professional dancer on 'Strictly Come Dancing', has been at the center of multiple controversies following his unexpected exit from the show. Pernice was reportedly axed from the British series over allegations of bullying co-star Amanda Abbington. Despite these claims, 'Strictly' judge Shirley Ballas defended Pernice, calling him a 'true gentleman'. In the wake of his departure, Pernice has been seen breaking his strict pro dancer regime, visiting casinos and chain-smoking. He is also in advanced talks to join the Italian version of 'Strictly' and is eyeing a significant TV comeback. Amidst the turmoil, Pernice shared a loved-up photo with his girlfriend Molly Brown while the BBC continues to investigate the allegations of his 'threatening and abusive behavior'. Additionally, Pernice was involved in a catfishing scam where a fake account in his name defrauded a victim of £62k. Pernice was also seen leaving a theatre with his friend Lauren Oakley.
