Giovanni Pernice charges £140 for VIP meet and greet for his Last Dance tour after missing out on £350,000 from TV jobs due to ongoing BBC probe

Aug 28, 2024 Life IDOPRESS

Having left Strictly,it appears Giovanni Pernice is coming up with new ways of boosting his income.

The Italian dancer,33,is charging fans up to almost £140 for a meet and greet with him on his upcoming Last Dance tour.

Fans who purchase the VIP ticket get a photo opportunity with Giovanni,and a signed print.

Giovanni is awaiting the outcome of a BBC probe into actress Amanda Abbington's claims he was 'abusive,cruel and mean' to her in training – claims he has firmly denied.

The five month tour will kick off in January next year and travel across the UK. 

It comes after Giovanni last out on £350,000 paycheck from TV jobs as he is yet to be cleared from four-month long BBC inquiry (Giovanni and Amanda Abington pictured in October 2023)

'It is absolutely horrendous for Gio. He has been stuck in limbo and has been unable to move on with his life. 

'He has so many offers on the table but without the BBC clearing his name he can't move forward. Nobody can understand why this is taking so long.

'He is losing money hand over fist. He was presented with Amanda's claims weeks and weeks ago,there was nothing there that proved he was a bully,as he has been insisting all along.

'He has a clear case against the BBC here. They put him in a room with a woman without doing the most basic of checks which ultimately put him in a position where his career is potentially ruined and his income stream is cut off'.

They added: 'Gio had to leave Strictly because of Amanda's claims and now it has ruined his chance to move on.'

Ballando con le Stelle launched in 2005 - a year after Strictly began in the UK - and is filmed in a magnificent 19th century theatre at the RAI Auditorium at the Foro Italico in Rome.

Giovanni hired legal firm Schillings in April after Amanda made a formal complaint to the BBC.
