Strictly star Giovanni Pernice supported by Anton Du Beke: ‘Whatever we do, we do it together’

The boys are heading off on the road together

Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has publicly shown support for Giovanni Pernice as he continues to battle allegations about his conduct while filming the show.

Giovanni, 33, is allegedly under investigation after former contestants who were paired with him on Strictly have teamed up.

According to reports, Amanda Abbington, Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore held a “tearful summit” to speak about their “difficult experiences”.

Meanwhile, Giovanni is believed to be compiling evidence that will clear him of any wrongdoing.

And while his future on the show is yet to be revealed, it seems he has the support of judge Anton.
