Tess Daly is said to be “really upset” as the Giovanni Pernice furore continues to cast a shadow over Strictly Come Dancing and her husband Vernon Kay’s BBC radio show loses listeners, a source has told new.
There are rumours that pro dancer Giovanni will leave the hit BBC show after it was alleged that more former celebrity partners may come forward to “question” his coaching methods.
And according to a source, the controversy has been tough on Tess Daly, who co-hosts Strictly with her friend Claudia Winkleman.
“She always really liked and got on with Giovanni, but she also knows these women must have gone through a lot to make these complaints,” they claimed. “She feels it’s probably for the best that he is leaving. But she knows he has a lot of fans and she’s worried about the impact it will all have on the show long-term.”
Former teen model Tess, 55, has co-hosted Strictly since it started in 2004, with the late Sir Bruce Forsyth at the helm. The show celebrates 20 years on our screens this year and she will not want anything to detract from the anniversary.
