Giovanni Pernice Wins Italian Dance Show

Giovanni Pernice, a former Strictly Come Dancing professional, has won the 19th season of the Italian version, Ballando Con Le Stelle, alongside his partner Bianca Guaccero. Their victory was celebrated on social media, where they expressed gratitude to their fans. This triumph follows Pernice's controversial departure from the UK amid a BBC investigation into allegations of bullying made by his previous dance partner Amanda Abbington, which he denies. The investigation upheld some complaints of verbal bullying but found no evidence of physical aggression. Pernice hinted at a potential marriage proposal to Guaccero, stating he would consider it seriously now that they have won. The couple's romance has blossomed during the competition, with both expressing deep affection for one another.
