Allegations of serious workplace misconduct against Strictly's Giovanni Pernice

STORY: On Friday, it was said that the future of the TV show Strictly Come Dancing might be in trouble. This happened after Giovanni, who used to be a professional dancer on the show, was accused of not treating his past celebrity partners well. Giovanni is now working with a legal firm called Schillings. He plans to show transcripts to prove that he treated everyone fairly. Some celebrities, like Amanda Abbington, have said that Giovanni did not treat them well. They are worried about losing other jobs at the BBC if they speak up. But they still want to speak out because they think it's the right thing to do and they want to stop others from going through the same thing. The BBC, which airs Strictly Come Dancing, is now looking into how they take care of the stars on the show. Some celebrities who were on the show with Giovanni asked for someone to be with them while they were working with him, but their requests were turned down. However, one celebrity, Rose Ayling-Ellis, who is deaf, did have an interpreter with her when she was on the show with Giovanni in 2021 and they won the competition. Some of the other professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing are worried that they might also face accusations from their celebrity partners if things get tough during the show. Giovanni has said that he is working with Schillings and is cooperating with the process. He denies any claims of being threatening or abusive. The BBC will get a report with evidence about the complaints against Giovanni. Some celebrities who were on the show have made serious complaints about how Giovanni trained them. Giovanni has denied any wrongdoing and says he is looking forward to proving his innocence. The BBC is collecting evidence about the claims and will also hear Giovanni's side of the story. There have been reports that Giovanni's training methods were so tough that his celebrity partners got hurt. Giovanni says he is a perfectionist and cares about getting his partners ready for the show. Some celebrities have spoken out about their experiences working with Giovanni, saying it was difficult and made them feel upset. The situation is not good, and the women who have spoken out are worried they might lose other jobs at the BBC. Despite this, they are speaking out because they think it's the right thing to do and want to prevent others from going through the same thing.
