Giovanni Pernice’s girlfriend Molly Brown has reportedly spoken out about the headlines surrounding her beau and his former Strictly Come Dancing partner Amanda Abbington.
Pernice has been the subject of several reports since Abbington quit Strictly last year with the Sherlock star claiming to have been diagnosed with PTSD as a result of her time on the show.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Gio has been through a 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.”
Brown and Pernice’s romance became public knowledge earlier this year amid the latest developments in the Abbington saga.
Despite brief reports of a split, the same source told the publication that Pernice and Brown 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,” they added.
Pernice replicated the support shown to him by sharing a public tribute to his other half to mark her birthday recently.
Alongside a loved-up snap of the two, Pernice penned: “Happy bday to my beautiful [queen]!!TMABWAW. I love you!”

Brown similarly showed the pair are stronger than ever as she reposted the snap on her own Instagram page.
The model wrote alongside her beau’s update: “My little wish upon a [star]. I love you.”
Pernice has been a stalwart on Strictly Come Dancing since he made his debut in 2015.
His one and only series when came alongside Rose Ayling-Ellis in 2021.
