Giovanni Pernice has broken his silence for the first time since he found himself under fire for his allegedly tough training style on Strictly Come Dancing. The professional dancer, 33, was paired up with actress Amanda Abbington for the 2023 series, and the Sherlock star has since "demanded footage from the BBC of her training sessions with Giovanni", amid claims she has PTSD from her time on the show.

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have been busy speculating over the futures of this year's professionals. There's always intense scrutiny of the pro line-up as bosses chop and change to keep the show feeling fresh.

GIOVANNI Pernice caught up with his Strictly boss after an explosive Blackpool as they hung out at the after-show party. Last night's instalment of the BBC dance show returned to Blackpool Tower Ballroom in the seaside resort after three long years. Giovanni, 32, was partnered with Richie Anderson during this year's series of the competition, but they were eliminated in week three.

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans were left mesmerised after Shirley Ballas shared a secret off-screen dance with Giovanni Pernice. The enchanting clip saw the queen of Latin, 62, partnered with the Italian pro, 32, as they sashayed around the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Shirley Ballas, 62, has slammed rumours that there’s a feud between her and competitor Fleur East. It comes as fans were left convinced earlier this month that the pair were in a ‘feud’ with one another.

Tyler West, 26, admitted that one particularly annoying habit he has during rehearsals can cause his Strictly Come Dancing partner Dianne Buswell, 33, to lose her temper.The star gave an insight into their time dancing together on the BBC show so far in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk at the 2022 Pride of Britain Awards.Tyler and Dianne are one of nine remaining couples in the 2022 series of Strictly.The couple generally place near the top of the leaderboard week after week, although last Saturday night’s performance saw them at risk of being placed in the bottom two after they finished in eighth position. Luckily, the pair were saved by the viewers, and it was Molly Rainford and Ellie Simmonds who faced one another in the dance-off, with the latter party ultimately going home.Other celebs to leave the competition have included EastEnders’ James Bye, comedian Jayde Adams, singer Matt Goss, BBC Radio 2’s Richie Anderson and Loose Women’s Kaye Adams.Talking about his “bromance” with James shortly before he exited the show, Tyler revealed that the pair shared a dressing room together at Strictly.Asked if they ever pulled any pranks on each other behind the scenes, Tyler started laughing, as Dianne stepped in."Well you’ve pranked me a few times, though, haven’t you?” Dianne said in a mock-accusing tone.“I’ve pranked her a few times,” Tyler confirmed with a nod and a cheeky smile. “What was the first prank I did?” “Oh, let’s not even talk about that,” Dianne replied with a withering look as Tyler started giggling again.“I forget my dance shoes a lot,” Tyler admitted sheepishly.

Strictly's Giovanni Pernice, who clinched the Glitterball trophy last year for his performance with the show's first ever deaf contestant, Rose Ayling-Ellis, was devastated when he saw Ellie Simmonds, who has dwarfism, get the boot in week seven. Giovanni was axed very early on after his and Richie Anderson's performance in warthog and meerkat costumes from The Lion King seemed more like comedy than a dance contest to many - but he passionately defended Ellie.Taking to Instagram, he directly responded to Ellie's pro partner Nikita Kuzmin to make it clear how he felt."Way too early!!" he exclaimed, adding: "You guys were a dream to watch!! Both of you, be proud of what you have achieved."Watching Ellie's success was dear to Giovanni's heart as she won over the nation for weeks while Nikita transformed their routines to work for her - and the Italian pro has his own experience of dancing with someone living with a disability.His 2021 partner, Rose, who says she can sense the music via its vibrations, also chimed in on Instagram to praise and comfort Ellie after her exit."Absolutely love watching you both.

STRICTLY fans are convinced Shirley Ballas has reignited a 'feud' with Fleur East. Last month, viewers took to Twitter to declare the head judge had it in for Fleur after Shirley revealed she would have saved Richie Anderson over the former X Factor star in the dance off during Movie Week. While the feud rumours have quietened down in recent weeks, they were reignited once again tonight after Shirley's comments to Fleur following her latest routine.

STRICTLY star Shirley Ballas has shared a cryptic post amid speculation that she should be replaced as a judge. Last month the 62-year-old was blasted by fans who claimed that she is sexist. Many viewers think that Shirley has been showing preference to the male celebrity dancers over the women taking part on this year's series of the  BBC1 show.

Channel 5 newsreader and former Strictly Come Dancing star Dan Walker has described the BBC show as "entertainment" rather than a competition, as he gave his opinion as to who he thinks will win this year.

Strictly Come Dancing has found itself at the centre of another race row after Fleur East found herself in the dance off for a second time. Fans were outraged that Fleur landed in the bottom two alongside EastEnders' James Bye - despite scoring 32 points on Saturday night.

STRICTLY Come Dancing fans were gutted that show favourite Giovanni Pernice was missing from the Halloween special. The Italian professional, 32, who has been dubbed the 'Halloween King' was missing from Saturday's episode and tonight's results show.
