GIOVANNI Pernice has revealed he’s already got a huge new UK gig after the Strictly probe results were revealed.
The professional dancer – who’s also moved back to his native Italy – was recently cleared of almost all the abuse allegations against him.
Giovanni is now re-emerging into the spotlight, and has landed a big new job teaching people how to dance.
He will be touring the country with his workshop, giving fans the chance to learn how to waltz and tango.
Announcing the news, Gio told fans: “Well last year, we did Ballando on Tour – which is basically our dance classes for people that can’t come to London.
“This year – I’ve decided to do it again!”
His fans rushed to show their support for his new job, with one saying: “Booked and can’t wait!”
While another added: “I am finally getting to come to one!! I’m so excited! See you in Belfast!”
This one commented: “Brighton here I come again! I’ll be at the show the night before, front and centre as a surprise treat for my mum!”
Last week, it was revealed that the BBC had cleared Giovanni of almost all the abuse allegations against him.
The report concluded that he was not abusive to Amanda Abbington, did not make threats and was not intimidating.
It also found that there was no aggressive or physical contact between Giovanni and Amanda.
In the wake of the report’s release, his good friend Anton Du Beke showed his support for his good friend Gio.
Speaking to the Mirror, the Strictly judge revealed how Giovanni had become more humorous and comedic during their recent tour despite the pressures of the investigation looming over him at the time.
Anton told the publication: “If I am with Giovanni, he is very much about [being] the solo flyer [on stage].
“We have got to be good as he has got really good at listening and now the whole thing works in a much more nuanced way, as he will do something funny and I will do something funny. It is now a much better sort of cohesive moment.”
Amid the many recent Strictly scandals, Anton stood firm as he insisted reputation was more important than anything as he revealed audiences and fans can “see through it” when someone is not being genuine.
He added: “Whatever it is I do, it has to be standalone good. That is massively important to me.
“Your reputation has to be worked towards and you never don’t work at it as the audience will see through it.”
Upon the report being released, it upheld six out of 17 allegations against pro dancer Giovanni, according to the Mail.
It finds instances of Giovanni using swear words and “belittling” language and giving negative feedback.
And the report also finds there there were two moments of “inappropriate behaviour of sexual banter in the workplace”.
These incidents were made and received consensually as jokes, humour and compliments of Amanda dancing, the report finds.
Amanda had complained that Giovanni sent her an inappropriate video on WhatsApp.
But the BBC did not uphold this complaint and did not find anything sexually inappropriate.
