Pernice accused of a 'brutal' training regime on Strictly

The Italian dancer - who has been embroiled in controversy since his celebrity partner Amanda Abbington unexpectedly quit the show in 2023 - is reportedly the centre of an investigation, which is being assisted by other celebrities with whom he was paired.

While Sherlock star Abbington originally cited "medical reasons" for her decision to leave the programme, she went on to request what was described by a source as "tense" footage of her rehearsals with Pernice for a supposed investigation. The actor then revealed she was "diagnosed with mild PTSD after Strictly for several reasons".
