Giovanni Pernice is speaking out about his traumatic experience on Strictly Come Dancing, accusing the BBC of failing to protect celebrity contestants. After leaving the show three years ago amid allegations of bullying from dance partner Amanda Abbington — who had previously disclosed her own mental health struggles — Pernice demands psychological assessments for all reality TV participants to safeguard their well-being. He revealed he nearly took his own life due to the fallout, describing their interactions as laced with “bad language” and “rude names.” While some of Abbington’s complaints against him were upheld, a settlement was reached between her and BBC Studios. In response, the BBC has now introduced mandatory chaperones during all rehearsals to prevent future harm.
