Strictly's Giovanni Pernice FINALLY breaks his silence on partner Amanda Abbington's explosive exit...

Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice has finally broken his silence on former celeb parter Amanda Abbington's explosive exit from the BBC show.

Following accusations of his 'militant' teaching style Giovanni admitted that was a 'perfectionist' but said it came from a 'perspective of caring' and that he believed all other professional dancers were the same. 'And if we have good scores at the end, I do look back and say, 'I've done a great job'. But we all care about our partners and we want that for them every single week; to look great on a Saturday'.

Amanda was also seeking legal advice over Giovanni's alleged behaviour towards her, believing video footage could ‘back up’ her claims. ‘Her complaint was of course looked at but they were adamant that Giovanni had done nothing wrong. The BBC were ready to fight her, Amanda’s reason for quitting Strictly was an entirely different one to her PTSD.

Amanda was praised by the judges for her performances during her time on the show but it was claimed she was struggling behind the scenes.'He was quite tough and she found that difficult. If she wasn't very well, that wouldn't have helped. Twinkle-toed star Giovanni was reportedly only given the news of Amanda's exit a few hours before the official statement was released.
