Giovanni Pernice was seen back at work on Friday as he left the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells alongside his Strictly pal Lauren Oakley. 

It is the first time the former Strictly professional, 33, has been seen since breaking his strict pro-dancer routine earlier this week when he was spotted chain-smoking following a visit to Silver Time Casino as well as Admiral Casino and Slots. 

He also nipped into Paul's Bakery for a pastry, which he ate out of a brown paper bag.

And now The Sun has revealed that Giovanni is a regular at Silver Time Casino and often frequents the fruit machines during his visits. 

He spent nearly an hour inside on Monday, but sources told the publication he visited on three separate occasions last week.

An insider said:  'Giovanni comes in quite often and at all times of the day, not just the morning. He'd not been seen for a while but came in three times last week.'He was spending up to £300 a time and he always plays on the same four fruit machines, betting £2 a spin. Sometimes he loses, but he wins too. 

'Sometimes he'll just come in to have a coffee and a quick bet, then go.'

MailOnline have contacted Giovanni's representatives for comment.

Giovanni was also seen chain smoking outside this week before treating himself to a pastry amid reports he is in advanced talks to join the Italian version of Strictly Come Dancing.  

It was confirmed earlier this month that Giovanni would not be returning as a professional on the 20th anniversary series of Strictly this year. 

The BBC have launched an investigation after the dancer was accused of 'threatening and abusive behaviour' while working with celebrity contestants on the show, including Amanda Abbington, Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore.

However, MailOnline have exclusively revealed that Giovanni is preparing to begin a new role on Dancing with the Stars in Italy, in a tactical move he hopes will give him the chance to carry on performing.

A source told MailOnline: 'Giovanni is in advanced talks to join the Italian version of Strictly, Dancing with the Stars.

'Bosses are really keen to sign him as a judge given his fame and status in the UK but are also open to the dancer performing as a professional, if he still wants to compete.

'It's a great move for Giovanni, who has weighed up the possibility of doing shows like I'm A Celeb, but dance will always be his passion.

'All he wants is a fresh start and to join Dancing with the Stars in Italy will certainly give him the new chapter he's been hoping for.'

Elsewhere, Giovanni was also defended by Strictly's head judge Shirley Ballas, 63,  this week after she called him a 'perfect gentleman', amid his shock exit from BBC show amid workplace misconduct probe. For weeks executives have been investigating claims that Giovanni behaved 'abrasively' to his most recent celebrity partner Amanda. 

Shirley has hailed Giovanni saying they socialise outside of work and she has only had positive experiences with him.

Speaking at Q&A for her new crime novel, according to The Sun, Crazy Time 1WIN she said: 'He is coming to my party on Sunday. You know, I can only talk from my own perspective.

'I have known Giovanni for ten years. He has always been to me, — and I will make that clear, to me — a perfect gentleman. 

'I don't condone bullying on any path. But I don't believe gossip because things are blown way out of all proportion and it can turn into a great big snowball.'

Shirley added that her mother Audrey 'loves' Giovanni and always makes time to say hello to them. 

She said: 'It does not matter when he is on tour, or where he is or what he is doing, he will make his way across and he will say 'Lovely to see you Shirley. Lovely to see your mum.'

The TV personality said she will not judge anyone until the investigation has been fully carried out and added Giovanni 'will be missed' on the show this year.

Elsewhere, Shirley described Giovanni as a 'hard worker' who always tries his best.

She told Best magazine: 'I think everybody in the Strictly cast is fantastic and I've known Giovanni a long, long time. I've known him probably longer than a lot of people have known him and I can only talk from personal experience. 

'He's got a work ethic that is the same as mine. He works hard and he wants the best for anybody who wants to learn. He's a true gentleman and, of course, he always looks drop-dead gorgeous.' 

Shirley noted that Giovanni is an incredibly considerate person in general who goes out of his way to make someone feel 'super-special'.

She added: 'He always puts his best foot forward and is always on time, he's one of those very thoughtful people. He called me the other day to invite my mum to a show he was doing because they love each other. As popular as he is, he will always try and make his way to any fan who wants to see him and will always make them feel super-special.'

Despite the furore, head judge Shirley has stood by the under-fire pro and will join him in hosting a number of dance classes in London next month.

Named Ballando, the one-day event is led by Shirley, Giovanni and Anton Du Beke as they share their expertise with fans. 

Giovanni's absence from the Strictly line-up was revealed when the BBC shared the names of the professionals appearing this year.

This season will see the return of Amy Dowden , who was treated for breast cancer last year, alongside Dianne Buswell , Nadiya Bychkova, Graziano Di Prima, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez and Luba Mushtuk.

Joining them on the dancefloor are Jowita Przystal , Johannes Radebe , Kai Widdrington, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola.

The BBC also confirmed the return of judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel-Horwood and Anton Du Beke. 

Executive producer Sarah James said in a statement: 'This year Strictly marks two decades of entertaining the nation and we will be back with a bang in September as we celebrate in style with our incredible team both on and off screen.'

Giovanni returned to social media for the first time on Thursday after the BBC confirmed he would not be returning to the show 

It comes after the Daily Mail revealed BBC bosses are 'furious' that leaks of confidential details of the probe have been made public.

It was reported that claims Giovanni would 'grab his crotch' when one of his partners did well have been heard by investigators.

The Sun newspaper also told how Amanda said her foot was bruised after Pernice stood on it.

BBC bosses are said to be 'concerned' and are wanting to find out how this information is being released.

They are also worried that the leaks mean that Giovanni, who quit Strictly in April after nine years, is being vilified by the public.

One insider at the corporation told the Mail: 'We are talking about a confidential, internal inquiry here yet there are several elements finding their way into the public domain now.

'While it isn't an HR issue, it is an investigation which the BBC are taking seriously.

'The bosses want to know why this is happening. They want to find the leak. If you are Giovanni here you might be thinking that this is highly unfair.

'It also seems quite rum that it is all anti-Giovanni. There is nothing coming out in his favour at all. It's all very strange.'

The inquiry began last month and the outcome is expected within a few weeks.

It all began when Amanda revealed to The Sun in January that she had got post-traumatic stress disorder after appearing on Strictly last year when she was paired with Pernice.

She also asked for video footage of her rehearsals with the Sicilian dancer.

After he was offered a contract to return to the series, which starts in September, Ms Abbington instructed London-based legal firm Carter-Ruck to represent her along with two other female stars who have appeared on Strictly. 












Three women, including actress Amanda Abbington (pictured), have hired £700-an-hour lawyers at leading London law firm Carter Ruck to pursue claims against Giovanni and the BBC







Ms Abbington reportedly met up with Laura Whitmore and Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh - also former partners of Pernice - to discuss his so-called bad behaviour.

Giovanni responded by hiring rival firm Schillings, which has represented royals such Prince Harry and Meghan, as well as J. K. Rowling and Ryan Giggs.

He has vowed not to be cancelled and is fully co-operating with the investigation. In the last fortnight he has begun to engage with the BBC. He expects to be exonerated. 

In a statement, the dancer said: 'Giovanni is fully committed to clearing his name and defending his reputation against all false and misleading accusations against him.'

On Instagram yesterday Pernice, who is currently on tour across the country with Strictly star Anton Du Beke, branded allegations about his teaching methods 'simply false'.

He wrote: 'Every week, there are totally untrue stories about me in the media.

'As you know, I have always rejected any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour. The latest accusations are simply false.

'I am co-operating fully with the ongoing BBC investigation, which will determine the truth.

'As requested, I have stayed silent, but I am looking forward to the conclusion of the investigation and ultimately clearing my name and establishing the truth.'

As the investigation into Giovanni 's alleged inappropriate behaviour continues the BBC have reportedly brought in two ex Met officers to conduct the interviews.

And it is understood they have already interviewed at least one female complainant, The Sun has revealed.

The other two are due to be seen in the coming days as the organisation continue to reportedly scour nine years of footage from Giovanni's training sessions.

A source told the publication: 'The BBC is taking this extremely seriously.

'Two ex-Met cops are conducting all the interviews and have been tasked with gathering evidence — including texts and screenshots — which they will present to corporation executives.

'Giovanni has not yet been spoken to.'

MailOnline have contacted Giovanni's representatives. The BBC chose not to comment when approached for a statement.

Giovanni returned to social media for the first time on Thursday after the BBC confirmed he would not be returning to the show.

The dancer shared a video to the Ballando Instagram account in which he could be seen taking charge in leading a series of group dance sessions.

Keeping his words to a minimum, he simply added three love heart emojis to the post - proving that he still has a passion for dance.

The dancer is set to return to the stage for his show - The Anton and Giovanni Together live tour - on Friday alongside Strictly judge Anton Du Beke. 

The BBC's announcement of which dancers would be competing in this year's show is a routine procedure by show bosses and does not mark the end of the probe into Giovanni's behaviour. 

A show insider said: 'Giovanni's case is very much ongoing. The announcement is circulated when Strictly have finalised the contracts of the pros who are able to compete. 

'Giovanni's absence has been known for some weeks, he won't have anything to do with the 2024 season. 

'But the investigation into his alleged wrongdoings will continue to develop alongside preparation for the upcoming series.'
