Giovanni Pernice has a lot to look forward to in his new life following the bombshell Strictly probe – from his film debut and sell-out shows to a reality show stint.
In June, Giovanni left the BBC show following allegations of bullying from his 2023 dance partner – actress Amanda Abbington. Giovanni has denied the allegations.
And this week, the BBC revealed the findings following a probe into the allegations. Giovanni was ultimately cleared of ‘physical aggression’ while complaints of verbal bullying and harassment were upheld in the ‘bullying’ probe.
But what is next for Giovanni following the bombshell probe?
Giovanni Pernice on new ‘Strictly’ role
Last month, it was revealed that Giovanni was returning to Strictly by appearing in the Italian version of the show, Ballando con le Stelle.
Talking about his return to the dance floor, Giovanni previously gushed: “I’m excited because finally, I’m back on the dance floor and hopefully, I will create some new magic on the dance floor.”
On the show, he is partnered with celebrity Bianca Guaccero and they are said to be “getting along great in training”.
Giovanni to make his film debut
Showing no signs of slowing down, Giovanni is also making his film debut in the 1980s-inspired fantasy movie, Master of the Dance. Giovanni plays a King’s dance master in the flick, and stars alongside the likes of Back to the Future’s Christopher Lloyd and Lord of the Ring’s Sean Astin.
Speaking about Giovanni’s new role, a movie insider told MailOnline: “It’s a really fun role where not only does he show his amazing dance talent but also gets to show his comedy and acting chops.
“He’s in the film with the most amazing cast, including some Hollywood legends. So who knows what might happen, he may well find some more acting roles coming his way.”
