The professional dancer rejected "any suggestion" of inappropriate behaviour during his time on the flagship BBC programme, amid claims the broadcaster is looking into complaints about his conduct.
Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has rejected allegations that he displayed "abusive or threatening behaviour" while working as a professional dancer on the show.
The 33-year-old Italian dancer said he was "surprised" amid reports the BBC is looking into complaints about his conduct.
A legal firm acting on behalf of the complainants said the broadcaster is "evidence gathering" - but the BBC has not confirmed that any probe has been launched.
In the statement shared on Instagram, Pernice wrote: "To my dear fans, you will be as surprised as I am that allegations have been made about my dance teaching methods in the media this week.
"Of course, I reject any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour, and I look forward to clearing my name."
Pernice signed off the message by writing: "Thank you all once again for your continued love and support! Giovanni."
