Debbie McGee has revealed she has been asked to give evidence in a BBC investigation into Strictly Come Dancing.

Dancer Giovanni Pernice was suspended while a probe is conducted over claims of off-camera misconduct made by his partner Amanda Abbington and two other former celebrity dance partners.

Giovanni has vehemently denied the allegations.

Fellow dancer Graziano Di Prima was sacked by the show following similar claims of inappropriate behaviour towards TV personality Zara McDermott, with whom he was paired in 2023.

Debbie, who was partnered with Giovanni on the 2017 series, appeared on GB News on Thursday where she confirmed she had been asked to take part in the probe.

She said:’I don’t know if I’m allowed to say or not, but yes, I have [been asked to take part in the investigation].

‘So I you know, it’s all very secret, and I’m sure everybody else who’s ever danced with him and people that have worked alongside him would have been asked to give evidence to so I just hope it all turns out well for all parties.’

The TV star also spoke about her time on Strictly, saying she had an ‘amazing time’ and thinks the new series will be just as good despite the scandal.
