Giovanni Pernice's girlfriend Molly Brown thinks allegations against him are ... trends now
Giovanni Pernice's girlfriend Molly Brown thinks the accusations that he is difficult to work with on Strictly Come Dancing are 'bizarre' and is 'quite angry about it'.
The professional dancer, 33, has been locked in a feud with his ex celebrity partner Amanada Abbington who was reportedly left with PTSD after her time on Strictly.
It was reported that Amanda joined the Italian's other former partners Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore for an 'emotional summit' to 'compare notes' about their time working with him.
The dancer also reportedly left Step's Faye Tozer, 48, in tears after a heated clash backstage on spin-off show It Takes Two in 2018.
Giovanni has been relying on Molly during the ordeal. A source told MailOnline: 'Gio has been through an horrific few months but Molly has been an absolute rock the whole time.

'She's told friends how bizarre she thinks the stuff is that Gio's been accused of because it doesn't tally with the person she knows.
'Like many of his mates, she's been left quite angry about it and thinks those throwing around claims should either make a complaint or stop causing trouble.
The insider added that Molly and Giovanni's romance is progressing quickly and he has told friends what a support she has been to him.
They added: 'Molly and Gio have grown incredibly close very quickly. He's on the road a lot and she knows all about his previous reputation. But she doesn't care and is very happy in the relationship.
'She's been a huge support to Gio over the last few months and he's been very open with his friends about how important that has been. He's not sure he'd coped without having her around.'
It was previously reported that Giovanni would be meeting Strictly's top brass and that the broadcaster was backing the dancer after not receiving any offical complaints against him.
A source close to Amanda, Ranvir and Amanda told MailOnline: 'They are very unhappy with the way the BBC are handling this.'
The insider continued: 'It's one thing saying they are standing by him, but they feel as if Giovanni is being promoted and pushed centre stage in a bid to make them go away and keep quiet. It's a kick in the teeth.
