Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice's ex-partner claims he ‘did horrendous things’ to her
ok.co.ukStrictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice is at the centre of controversy this week, with a former dance colleague accusing him of "horrendous things".
Korina Travis, who used to dance with Giovanni at private events, came forward after the Strictly pro defended himself against allegations of unpleasant behaviour towards his Strictly dance partners.
Korina, who was in the running to become a professional on the BBC show in 2016 but missed out out to Chloe Hewitt, said she was pleased people were seeing the 33-year-old Italian for "who he truly is."
