Strictly Come Dancing‘s Giovanni Pernice is facing controversy as his former dance partner, Amanda Abbington, has reportedly sought legal advice to obtain backstage footage of their rehearsals. Amanda, known for her role in Sherlock, recently revealed that she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and left the BBC dance show citing personal reasons last October. It seems that Amanda has now requested footage of her rehearsing with Giovanni, leading to speculation about the nature of their working relationship.
Giovanni took to Instagram to share a picture of a dance class, thanking 250 participants and expressing his love for them. However, he has yet to address the rumors surrounding his alleged issues with Amanda. Inside sources claim that the requested recordings could reveal the truth about what goes on behind the scenes of Strictly Come Dancing and that tensions can often run high during rehearsals. Giovanni is described as being incredibly full-on and a perfectionist.
Amanda reportedly told those close to her that she was left feeling broken and saddened by her experience on Strictly Come Dancing. She sought professional help from a therapist due to the behavior she was exposed to, which took her months to recover from. For Amanda, her time on the show was a real shock, considering her initial excitement.
Fans of Amanda were surprised and disappointed when she abruptly quit the show after just five weeks. She posted a picture of her dancing shoes on social media, which garnered an outpouring of support from fans who were distraught by her departure. Amanda replied to one fan, thanking them and revealing her own sadness about leaving the show. She expressed her regrets, but ultimately, for personal reasons, she was unable to continue.
Strictly Come Dancing is known for its intense rehearsal process, and tensions between dance partners are not unheard of. However, the specific details of Amanda and Giovanni’s experience remain undisclosed. It remains to be seen whether Amanda’s request for footage will shed light on the situation.
As fans eagerly await any updates on the controversy, Giovanni has chosen to remain silent on the matter. In the world of competitive dance, emotions can run high, and the pressures of the show can take their toll on the participants. As Strictly Come Dancing continues to captivate audiences, viewers will be curious to see how this controversy unfolds and if any further details emerge about Giovanni and Amanda’s time together on the show.
