Fresh Giovanni Pernice Strictly drama as Ellie Leach and Ellie Simmonds ‘unfollow pro on social media’

Not the only stars said to have 'distanced' themselves

In the latest Giovanni Pernice news, two further Strictly Come Dancing stars are reported to have ‘distanced’ themselves from the Italian pro.

Giovanni reportedly recently exited the BBC One dance series he has been a part of since 2015.

The 33-year-old dancer has also found himself in the headlines in recent months due to claims about his Strictly training methods, and scrutiny over his most recent show partnership with Amanda Abbington.

Earlier this week, Rose Ayling-Ellis – who lifted the Glitterball trophy with Giovanni in 2021 – was reported to be “shocked” by allegations made against Giovanni.

However, according to The Sun, the ex-EastEnders actress is said to be “just trying to not get involved”.

And now, another tabloid claims, ex-Strictly stars Ellie Leach – the 2023 celeb winner – and 2022 participant Ellie Simmonds ‘have snubbed’ Giovanni on social media.
