Strictly Giovanni Pernice's next career move 'confirmed' as he searches for 'redemption'
Giovanni Pernice has been the subject of controversy in recent weeks after three of his former partners pursued claims against him.
Giovanni Pernice has come under fire in recent months after a number of allegations were made against him. Three of Giovanni's former Strictly Come Dancing partners, including Amanda Abbington have hired lawyers to pursue claims against him.
Amanda, who was partnered with the Italian dancer during last year's series of Strictly, pulled out after five weeks due to "personal reasons". She later said the show left her battling PTSD before accusing Giovanni of "bullying" her during his "militant" style training sessions.
After the complaints were made, the BBC launched an internal investigation into the 33-year-old's alleged behaviour. Earlier in the week, the 2024 line-up for Strictly was confirmed, revealing Giovanni had been axed from the series.
Following Giovanni's departure from the show, PR expert Jake Holyoak spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk about his potential next steps.

While the professional dancer has his own travel show with co-star Anton Du Beke, the expert queried whether Giovanni could take the plunge alone.
Jake said: "Sure, I'm a Celebrity could be on the cards, but let's not forget the power of redemption arcs.
"Imagine Giovanni waltzing his way into a travel show, exploring exotic locales and charming audiences with his Italian flair. We’ve seen Gino D’Campo do this type of thing and it’s gone down well!"
He added: "In my opinion, I think we may see a shift away from the conventional route of shows like I’m A Celebrity. It's all about embracing the unexpected and keeping the audiences hooked."

After the allegations were made against Giovanni, he took to social media to deny the claims. He wrote: "Of course, I reject any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour, and I look forward to clearing my name."
After being left out of the Strictly line-up for the first time in nine years, Giovanni broke his silence with a defiant post on Instagram.
In the video, the TV personality can be seen leading a series of group dance sessions. Giovanni added three heart emojis to the post, seemingly signalling to fans that he is not abandoning his love for dance.
