Carlos is so precious


These Italian boys know exactly what they are doing

They're all getting a raise.

Was going to say I couldn’t find it, super weird if he deleted it! As much as I love jovito, I feel that I can’t betray hellvito so got to place my bets on Helen

Remember Robin also tweeted about wishing Vito was single. Good on him (Vito)/ them though for keeping it private.

I was reading the comments under Vitos latest #theitalians post and Simone (Michelle’s) other half commented something along the lines of if he were their girlfriends he would be concerned over their bromance as a joke -obvs - there was a comment so Vito has a girlfriend - anyways unless I’m being blind or imagined it, that post has now been deleted. So the question is who is Vitos girlfriend - Helen, Ellie or Jowita or all 3?

I saw that comment! Perhaps it's Dianne and they're Red Hot and Ready together

A throuple with Joe.

A throuple with Joe.

Let’s be honest , Vito and Dianne would make a more obvious couple. I presume Joe has hidden charms.

Nikita has a story up of his and Luba’s dance

Nikita has a story up of his and Luba’s dance

I’m sure that was the person who posted the dance last time. There is a long reel on their page. I wonder how many times they’ve been, apparently next time they are at the back. I’d have to win the lottery to go as many times as some of these fans. If I won the lottery I would pay to be the middle in a Luba Nikita sandwich

She’s hardly the best character reference. Serial cheater and hole herself.

I see on the DS AT they’re delighted that Kai and Nads have been spotted with Gio and this clearly means they support him. Possibly, but being papped chatting outside a studio doesn’t negate months of zero public support (and Kai was already more in the Gio camp having gone to his show). Kai also has a face like a weekend in whatever place their postponed ep of Celebrity Hunter was filmed

Giovanni Pernice under fire as SECOND show with the dancer is shelved

The professional dancer, 33, quit Strictly Come Dancing earlier this month amid the BBC 's 'serious misconduct' probe - after his recent dance partner Amanda Abbington filed a complaint.

Plus they happen to be rehearsing in the same studios, so hard to avoid each other.

Jowita did Graz and Nancy’s jive section in the finale with Graz last night. Haven’t seen clips of other dances so I don’t know if Nancy was in other bits? I suppose that is a really high tempo section so probably just too much for her with an injury

I haven’t read the article re celeb hunted but it being postponed, surely isn’t just because of Gio, there must be another factor involved.

C4 have a habit of shelving shows indefinitely at the moment (something to do with them having no money so they can delay paying production companies) so it will probably be that rather than anything to do with Gio.

As it was for charity, they'll probably broadcast it at some point (but it might give C4 a bit of a problem if anything else about Gio comes out ...)

But they will have already finished it ages ago ( it was filmed over a year ago), so I do think it’s just because of Gio.

It might be a factor, but they've only just broadcast a series of Travel Man and a Katherine Ryan series that were filmed in 2022, so it's not unheard of with C4 at the moment. I think the recent series of non-celeb Hunted was filmed a couple of years ago too

Yeah, probably just rumours. Doesn't stop the DM readers frothing!

There's another story based on him liking comments on his posts eg '"Keep your chin up Gio, unlucky that someone decided to partner you with someone who didn't have the mental strength to participate in Strictly".
He's such a tit and if I never heard from him again in my lifetime it'd be too soon. May he develop an allergic reaction to GP Vita that makes his bollocks shrivel.

 

[diamondthunder]

Just reposting this since the first one got deleted. So glad there's a full clip of this dance.



There's this too. God those gold outfits are horribly ill-fitting, but Nikita and Graz still manage to look hot.

Wasn’t Gio a sort of ambassador for a mental health campaign - take a moment? Liking that comment isn’t really supporting those with mental health issues.

Since when was doing Strictly like joining the SAS? Mental strength? It is suppose to be fun…..

You could see the physical and mental toll that it took on Ellie and Layton by the final last year (I don’t include Bobby as he was so laid back) as they were working so hard. However they both formed really strong friendships with their pros that seem to be ongoing. It’s almost as if you can work hard but still have fun and be kind to each other at the same time. I really do think Gio could learn a few things from the newer pros who don’t think it’s all about them.

I get what you are saying. Yes it will take a toll, physically and mentally. However, I don’t think this pressure was from their partner but more a personal desire to do well and progress. As you say, both have close ongoing relationships with their pros.

Ellie has just posted that she will be joining Vito (and Luba) at one of those mega-expensive Warners Strictly weekends next week. A nice earner I'm sure.

BBC have released a statement: just saying they are investigating

'If a complaint is made to the BBC, we assess and take any necessary steps to establish the facts, whether there is a case to answer, and, if appropriate, what action should be taken.

'This is all within the context of the BBC having duties of care to everyone linked to a complaint - that applies to those that have raised the complaint and to those that have been complained about.

'Whilst we know our shows have been positive experiences for many of those who have taken part, we will always look at any issues raised with care, fairness and sensitivity to everyone concerned. We will not be commenting further.'

BBC finally breaks silence on Giovanni Pernice Strictly 'abuse' probe
