Pernice has previously denied allegations of \u201cabusive or threatening behaviour\u201d towards his former dance partners following tabloid reports of an investigation, with his 2023 Strictly partner Amanda Abbington claiming that she notified the show\u2019s production team<\/a>\u00a0to Pernice\u2019s alleged behaviour \u201cearly on\u201d.<\/p>\n Abbington told The Mail on Sunday<\/a> that \u201cGiovanni is nasty\u201d and that \u201che was awful to a few of us\u201d. Pernice has said that he has<\/a> \u201calways rejected any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour\u201d.<\/p>\n Now, a report by The Sun<\/a> has claimed that Pernice commented on the matter at a personal appearance to launch his own fragrance.<\/p>\n Perfumery & Co store co-owner David McConnachie in Ringwood, Dorset, said that Pernice spoke to him about the investigation.<\/p>\n \u201cHe said he is very confident it will all be sorted out soon,\u201d McConnachie told The Sun.<\/p>\n \u201cHe said all the training sessions had been recorded and he was sure that once they have all been reviewed it will all be resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> has approached Pernice for any further comment.<\/p>\n Addressing the claims last month, Pernice wrote on social media: \u201cTo my dear fans, you will be as surprised as I am that allegations have been made about my dance teaching methods in the media this week.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, I reject any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour, and I look forward to clearing my name.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cThose who have followed my journey on Strictly Come Dancing over the last decade will know that I am passionate and competitive. No-one is more ambitious for my dance partners than me.<\/p>\n \u201cI have always striven to help them be the very best dancers they can be. This has always come from a place of love and wanting to win \u2013 for me and my dance partners. Thank you all again for your continued love and support! Giovanni.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n The BBC previously responded to speculation surrounding the allegations, releasing a statement<\/a> which said: \u201cIt is a longstanding position that the BBC does not comment on specific matters related to individuals. Nor, ordinarily, would we comment on whether we are reviewing any individual complaints.<\/p>\n \u201cRecently, we have seen a number of media reports about a high-profile show. Anyone involved in a complaint has a right to confidentiality and fair process.<\/p>\n \u201cIf a complaint is made to the BBC, we assess and take any necessary steps to establish the facts, whether there is a case to answer, and, if appropriate, what action should be taken.<\/p> \u201cThis is all within the context of the BBC having duties of care to everyone linked to a complaint \u2013 that applies to those that have raised the complaint and to those that have been complained about.<\/p>\n \u201cWhilst we know our shows have been positive experiences for many of those who have taken part, we will always look at any issues raised with care, fairness and sensitivity to everyone concerned. We will not be commenting further.\u201d<\/p>\n Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what else is on.
