Giovanni addressed Amanda’s Strictly exit during a recent interview. Back in October, Amanda quit Strictly on medical grounds.

At the time, reports claimed that Amanda and Giovanni were feuding behind the scenes. In January, reports alleged that Amanda had developed PTSD and needed therapy after her exit.

She reportedly asked for tapes of her training sessions with Giovanni to “lift the lid” on the behind the scenes of the programme.

Now, Giovanni has spoken about being partnered with Amanda and also addressed being a “perfectionist”.
