Giovanni Pernice shares a career update after Strictly Come Dancing's return as he insists he hasn't 'quit' the UK

As a lifestyle expert with extensive experience in entertainment and dance industries, I must say that it’s fascinating to witness the twists and turns of the ongoing saga involving Giovanni and Amanda.


On a recent Instagram post, Giovanni Pernice discussed his professional developments, following the resumption of Strictly Come Dancing on the BBC, in light of Amanda Abbington’s allegations of bullying from the previous year.

The professional dancer shared a video of himself walking the streets of Italy as he discussed his upcoming work.

Giovanni has been busy rehearsing in Rome for the Italian version of Strictly Come Dancing, Ballando con le stelle, with his new partner, the stunning Italian singer and actress Bianca Guaccero, 43. 

In conversation about the program, he mentioned: “Greetings all! I’ve got an update for you straight from Rome. This week marks the start of our live shows, it’s absolutely thrilling! By the way, Bianca is performing exceptionally well.

‘I did read a lot of your message at the weekend and I am very grateful for all of you.’

Additionally, Giovanni affirmed that he’ll be making his way back to the United Kingdom quite soon, as his work calendar is packed with tours.

He went on to explain: “Many people have been inquiring, ‘Giovanni, why did you depart from the UK?’ However, that’s not accurate. I’m actually returning to the UK this coming Sunday for a dance class, and I’ll be back in October, November, and December too. Plus, I’ll be there again starting in January and continuing until July.

Currently, I’m thrilled about Dancing with the Stars (the Italian version), as the dancing is shaping up nicely. Wishing you all the best, I care for each and every one of you deeply.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I found myself in a situation where BBC executives had no choice but to approve my participation in the Italian iteration of “Strictly Come Dancing”. This decision was made in response to my previous dance partner, Amanda, alleging that I had bullied her.

The Corporation appears ready to support the Sicilian, indicating that their ongoing probe regarding the complaints made by the actress portraying Sherlock Holmes should soon find him not at fault.

The executives of the Italian show, “Ballando con le Stelle,” were concerned they might not be able to employ him unless the BBC agreed first. With the deadline approaching, the BBC intervened.

Within the Corporation, there was a worry that if Giovanni hadn’t won the Italian show due to the prolonged investigation, he might file a significant lawsuit for unrealized income.

Currently, experts estimate that the BBC might have to pay around £500,000 for this inquiry, and it’s the license-fee payers who would end up covering these costs.

A reliable source has indicated that the BBC has reviewed all available evidence and has reached a decision regarding the events in question.

Currently, there’s a bit of back-and-forth speculation regarding the contents of the upcoming report, yet amidst this confusion, Giovanni managed to secure an offer to advance his career in Italy.

‘Of course he wanted to take part on Ballando. He loves dancing but there was a question mark hanging over his head regarding his conduct.

The BBC concluded it was unjust and chose to intervene, thereby clearing him entirely.

If they had any concerns about his behavior, there’s simply no chance they would have acted as they did. This situation speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

It appears that the results of the BBC’s investigation have been postponed due to a disagreement between the legal teams representing both sides regarding the conclusions drawn from the inquiry.

There’s been growing impatience about the length of time it’s taking, considering the probe started back in April.

Some individuals at the BBC are incensed by the fact that it occurred at all, considering it an unnecessary expenditure of both time and resources. Another high-ranking BBC staff member expressed their view on the dispute as, “There are no victors in this situation.

BBC leaders are equally frustrated because Amanda, aged 52, employed legal representatives to handle matters concerning the Corporation’s human resources procedures, which they deemed inappropriate.

Upon discovering that Giovanni would join the upcoming UK series in April, Amanda sought help from the BBC. Subsequently, she engaged the services of law firm Carter-Ruck, who have agreed to take on her case free of charge.

This year, Giovanni, who decided to step away from the 20th anniversary series due to the ongoing investigation, subsequently directed Schillings. (This sentence tries to maintain a similar structure and meaning while using more common and conversational language.)

Previously, this law firm has had high-profile clients such as the Duchess of Sussex, J.K. Rowling, Johnny Depp, and Lance Armstrong.
