Giovanni Pernice Strictly updates: Dancer partner’s new claims against co-star as BBC probes allegations
FORMER Strictly Come Dancing pro, Giovanni Pernice, has been hit with further allegations after quitting the BBC show.
Dancer Korina Travis, 29, performed with him at private functions and has made a damning statement about his behaviour.
She said of Giovanni: “I’ve known him for years as a fellow competitor and he has done horrendous things to me.
“I will not speak about my experiences with him but I’m glad the world is seeing him for who he truly is. I’ll leave it at that.”
It comes as three of his former celebrity dance partners logged separate complaints with top legal firm Carter-Ruck.
They have not been named, but are understood to include Amanda Abbington, who quit the last series early, claiming she was bullied, as revealed by The Sun on Sunday.
