Strictly's Shirley Ballas has backed Giovanni Pernice amid a BBC probe into allegations of 'serious misconduct' against him.
'So we don't judge anybody until I know absolutely 100 per cent. I won't pass on the gossip unless I know 100 per cent it is true. I have never, ever, ever experienced any ill will or bad feeling or bad sportsmanship or rudeness from him. He will be missed.' Shirley noted that Giovanni is an incredibly considerate person in general who goes out of his way to make someone feel 'super-special'.
Giovanni's absence from the Strictly line-up was revealed when the BBC shared the names of the professionals appearing this year. Executive producer Sarah James said in a statement: 'This year Strictly marks two decades of entertaining the nation and we will be back with a bang in September as we celebrate in style with our incredible team both on and off screen.'
It comes after the Daily Mail revealed BBC bosses are 'furious' that leaks of confidential details of the probe have been made public. 'It also seems quite rum that it is all anti-Giovanni. There is nothing coming out in his favour at all. It's all very strange.'It all began when Ms Abbington revealed to The Sun in January that she had got post-traumatic stress disorder after appearing on Strictly last year when she was paired with Pernice.
Pernice, 33, responded by hiring rival firm Schillings, which has represented royals such Prince Harry and Meghan, as well as J. K. Rowling and Ryan Giggs.
