Shirley Ballas has finally confirmed when Strictly Come Dancing's celebrity line-up will be revealed The dance judge, 63, gave the thrilling news teasing it's just days away - after it was confirmed veteran Giovanni Pernice won't return to the show amid a BBC investigation for 'workplace misconduct' The show celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and executives are hoping the focus can be on that, rather than Pernice saga. Giovanni's former celebrity partner Amanda has claimed the show left her with PTSD and reportedly demanded footage of the pairs rehearsals together, presumably hoping the video footage could 'back up' her claims. Magazine The BBC launched an investigation after Giovanni, 33, was accused of 'threatening and abusive behaviour' while working with celebrity contestants on Strictly, including Amanda Abbingdon - which he staunchly denies Speaking about the bombshell revelations, Shirley said on Lorraine that Giovanni was 'a splendid teacher' and added 'he is an absolute gentlemen' Amanda has claimed the show left her with PTSD and that she had requested their dance practices to be filmed, not him Sherlock actress Amanda, 51, previously rubbished reports Giovanni had asked the BBC to record his rehearsals with the actress over what he claimed were his growing concerns about her 'behaviour' - claiming she had requested their dance practices to be filmed, not him.
