Giovanni Pernice Exits 'Strictly Come Dancing' Amid Serious Complaints

The BBC confirms the dancer will not return for the 2024 series following allegations of abusive behaviour.

Pernice has been a professional dancer on the show since 2015, winning in 2021 with Rose Ayling-Ellis.
Allegations involve abusive and threatening behaviour towards former dance partners.
Sherlock actress Amanda Abbington reportedly experienced significant distress and sought legal advice.
Pernice has denied all allegations and expressed a desire to clear his name.
The BBC is conducting an investigation and gathering evidence from multiple complainants.
