Giovanni Pernice, one of the most well-known and popular professionals on Strictly Come Dancing, is reportedly hoping to return to the show next year,

despite the controversy that has surrounded him in the wake of his partnership with Amanda Abbington. Pernice, who has become a fan favourite over the years for his charisma, dedication,

and expertise in dance, is said to be eager to get back to the ballroom and continue doing what he does best—wowing audiences with his exceptional choreography.

However, his potential return comes at a time when Amanda Abbington, his former partner, has been outspoken about their relationship during their time on the show,

even suggesting that she may take further legal action against Strictly and its producers.

Amanda Abbington, a well-respected actress known for her roles in Sherlock and Mr. Selfridge, made headlines when she revealed her discontent with the way things had unfolded during her time on Strictly.

Although Abbington had been excited to take part in the competition, the relationship between her and Giovanni became increasingly tense as the season progressed,

culminating in public accusations that Giovanni’s behaviour was less than supportive and left her feeling disheartened.

Abbington has been open about the emotional toll the experience had on her, describing how she felt unsupported by Giovanni and how the pressure of the competition had exacerbated tensions between them.
