Strictly's Amy Dowden is the latest star to snub Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima as she wades in on tarnished show's bullying row

Strictly's Amy Dowden has become the latest stars to snub Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima amid a probe into his workplace conduct.

The dancing pro,33,is returning to the BBC show this year after having time off to undergo chemotherapy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. 

Amy,who was recently told there is now no evidence of the disease in her body,has now gave her thoughts on the ongoing bullying crisis surrounding the show during an interview with The Times. 

The beloved dancing series is currently embroiled in controversy over how the professional dancers teach their celebrity partners,with multiple accusations emerging of bullying and abusive behaviour.

But Amy believes the show has not been tarnished and when asked if she thinks it could be cancelled she said: 'I don't think so. That's my personal take on it. I don't get caught up on negativity.'

Age: 56

Profession: Former footballer

Paul says: 'I won't worry about it until it starts but when it does I will be nervous - I have only danced three times in my life!'
