Peter Andre left no doubt as to his feelings regarding former Strictly Come Dancing star Graziano Di Prima . The Mysterious Girl singer, 51, branded the Italian professional dancer, 30, "disgusting" as he spoke out on the scandal that has embroiled the BBC dance contest. Peter, who was a contestant on the 2015 series of the show, was called out by some fans after sharing his support of Giovanni Pernice, who is under investigation following claims made by Amanda Abbington .
The 50-year-old actress was the first Strictly whistleblower and has also aired a candid interview with Channel 4 News in which she said she had been targeted with death threats following her accusations. Peter had previously said Giovanni was "always a gentleman" towards him, which prompted fury from some online users. One fan commented: "I'm sorry but this.
...
this is exactly why women don't come out and disclose what has happened to them. Fear of not being believed, belittled and other men saying 'they were always such a gentleman they're a good guy' yeah they were to you and that doesn't stop them from not being different to someone else." Another fan addded: "Graziano has actually admitted to assaulting Zara McDermott by means of kicking her.
" It's then that Peter spoke out about the Graziano case, in which the dancer has been accused of spitting at, kicking and punching the former Love Island star. Pete responded: "Yes, and I definitely am not in support of that. It's disgusting.
I'm talking about others who's names have just been dragged in to this without any evidence." Amanda spoke out about her experience alongside Giovanni on Wednesday , explaining how former contestants had warned her of his behaviour. Speaking to the news anchor Krishnan-Guru Murthy, Amanda claimed she was told "sorry" by past competitors after news broke she would be paired with the Italian dancer.
She told her former co-contestant how as soon as the news broke they were texting her saying: "I'm so sorry." A shocked Krishnan-Guru gasped: "That's a really odd thing to do," before Amanda replied they told her it was going to be "tough". She said she thought she would be okay as she is "quite a tough old bird".
"I thought I could [handle it] because I've been around the block a bit, you know?," she confessed. Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads ..
