The girlfriend of Giovanni Pernice has weighed in on the allegations against him as the 'feud' with his former Strictly Come Dancing partners continues.
Molly Brown, whose dancer shared a loved post on Instagram weeks earlier, revealed how 'bizarre' she finds it all.
Since Amanda Abbington, 52, quit last year's Strictly, her 33-year-old dance partner's future on the show has been in question.
The Sherlock star shared his experience left her with PTSD and she is reportedly considering a “formal” complaint against him after an “emotional summit” with her other partners.
Giovanni tried to head off the speculation, claiming the two simply didn't 'match' as he is a 'perfectionist', but praised his 'great talent'.
His girlfriend, Molly, has reportedly been by his side through the “horrible months” and is perplexed by the three women’s claims.
“Gio has been through a horrible few months, but Molly has been an absolute rock this entire time,” said a source Online Mail.
They continued: 'She's told friends how bizarre she thinks the thing Gio has been accused of is because it doesn't fit with the person she knows.
'Like many of her friends, she was quite angered by this and thinks those making complaints should make a complaint or stop causing trouble.'
The romance is said to be progressing quickly, with rumors surrounding an engagement – hot on the heels of speculation the pair had split.
The problem started when Amanda famous for giving up O BBC dance competition midway through the last series, citing 'personal reasons' at the time.
She has since complained that it was Giovanni's treatment of her during rehearsals that was unbearable and triggered her stress disorder.
Months later, speculation arose that the Sherlock star had an alleged encounter with Laura Whitmore and Ranvir Singh, two of Giovanni's former dance partners.
The trio are said to have “compared notes” about their experiences with him, shedding tears as they discussed their time on the show.
As the feud continues, Giovanni continues his Let Me Entertain You tour of the UK, with Molly joining him in London.
The couple left the theater hand in hand and smiling from ear to ear, with a very shiny ring on the model's finger that sparked engagement rumors.
After the performance, Molly and Giovanni's parents joined them for a late-night dinner at a fancy restaurant in Knightsbridge.
Metro.co.uk has contacted representatives for Molly and Giovanni for comment.
