Giovanni Pernice Alone in Manchester After Strictly Axe, Molly Brown Appears Downcast post-Split

Giovanni Pernice looked downcast as he ventured out in Manchester on Monday.

The dancer, 33, was recently axed from his position as a professional on Strictly Come Dancing after his after his 2023 celebrity partner Amanda Abbington accused him of abusive behaviour.

As his former co-stars headed to the studios in London to prepare for this year’s competition, Giovanni was more than 200 miles away in Manchester.

As he exited the station, the TV star was seen in dark glasses and carried with him a suitcase branded with his initials as well as a designer shopping bag.

Meanwhile, Gio’s ex girlfriend Molly Brown was also spotted in the Northern city, looking downcast as she headed out for the first time since they split amid the row.

The model was seen in her gym gear as she also made her way through Manchester, but she was with a female friend. 

She hugged herself tight in her beige coat and seemed to have kept this natural with her makeup and hair for the outing.  

Gio was in the Northern city following the final performance of his Together Again tour with Strictly judge Anton Du Beke at the Lowry in Salford last night. 

He  stopped for a mere moment to adjust his glasses before carrying on, a leather satchel secured to his shoulders. 

Giovanni’s drama was followed by Graziano Di Prima’s sacking last month over reports he verbally and physically abused Zara McDermott during rehearsals. Graziano has apologised for kicking his former partner and added other allegations do not align with ‘how he remembers it.’

Heading to rehearsals this week, the dancers brushed off the drama, with smiling Nikita offering a peace sign. 

Also heading to the north London studio was Johannes Radebe, Carlos Gu and Lauren Oakley.

Kai will be retuning to the series following his split from fellow show dancer Nadiya Bychkova. 
And, according to The Sun, Giovanni and some of his co-stars, are booked to perform at the Dancing With The Stars showcases in Windsor and Newport next year.

However, this could come as a rule-break as the broadcaster forbids its stars from taking on work that could be deemed to similar to the show that made them famous.

The policy states: ‘Actors and artists in BBC output should not appear in promotional work which mimics on-air roles.’
