Giovanni Pernice has accused the BBC of failing to respond after he told the broadcaster he was suffering from depression and myocarditis, revealing that he was 'spiralling mentally' as his Strictly Come Dancing career unravelled following Amanda Abbington's complaint.
The Italian professional dancer, who spent nine years on the BBC's flagship dance show, said the fallout left him questioning whether he had a future in the entertainment industry. Pernice claimed the broadcaster failed to support him once his contract had ended, despite his efforts to alert it to his deteriorating health.
