According to inside sources, Abbington was looking forward to dancing with Pernice but has struggled with his aggressive training style and attitude. She has expressed her desire to quit the show and has discussed this with her team.

Despite their clashes, Abbington and Pernice reportedly perform well together. There is hope that they can resolve their issues and continue on the show.

Previous Instances of Conflict

This is not the first time that Giovanni Pernice has faced difficulties with his celebrity partners. In 2016, presenter Laura Whitmore admitted to struggling with her pairing with Pernice. The Italian dancer had recently gone through a breakup with Laura's friend, Georgia May Foote. Whitmore described her experience on the show as emotionally and physically distressing.

In 2022, there were reports of a "feud" between Pernice and Richie Anderson, and in 2020 he reportedly did not get along with GMB star Ranvir Singh.

Amanda Abbington, known for her role in Sherlock and previously married to Martin Freeman, has faced her fair share of challenges on Strictly. Before the show even began, she received backlash for her comments on a drag show aimed at parents with babies. She faced accusations of transphobia and later apologized for her remarks.

Last night, a friend of Giovanni Pernice emphasized that he is a perfectionist and described his frustration with Abbington's difficulties in fully committing to rehearsals. However, they have recently had a constructive conversation, and the situation between them is improving.
