Front cover of The Sun today as well. Apparently Ranvir complained, and three more 'unhappy'. I think Richie Anderson is one of them.

Debbie McGee standing by him, though

I can believe that Richie and Giovanni didn't get on particularly well.

Laura Whitmore wasn't happy from the start about being partnered with him as she was friends with his ex Georgia.

I am pretty sure I've seen Faye interact with him on social media since being on the show. I would be very surprised if Rose had made any complaints. Michelle I suspect would have given as good as she got.

With all this publicity you wonder if they'll have him depart as quietly as possible this year. He's still probably the most 'famous' pro, but he hasn't been as prominent the last two series and other fresher pros have comfortably filled the gap.

Oh yeah it's ALL about lovely Vito now. Sorry Giovanni but you had a good run. And anyone who keeps Debbie McGee and Michelle Visage onside but alienates a TERF and Richie With The Travel can't be too bad

I'm fairly sure I've heard Michelle be complimentary about him specifically when not even being asked, and not only enjoying the show.

If he's seen as a bit toxic, I wouldn't be surprised if the BBC didn't ask him to return, or if he ends up going to one of the other international versions.

The show is clearly much bigger than any of the pro dancers, and Aljaz and Gorka always had better arses anyway, and that was before Vito turned up and got his lovely hairy tits out with reassuring frequency.

And I'm not saying anyone is behind trying to boot off a male pro for their own gain, but I did just notice that Neil Jones and Amanda Abbington follow each other on Instagram.

Amanda Abingdon has PTSD due to the treatment she received after being coupled up with Giovanni this season? I knew she left early due to medical reasons but had no idea it was because of Giovanni!

Rose loves Giovanni she went out to meet his family in Italy on some documentary I watched, so she must love him, or love authentic pasta.

And/or getting paid to go on tv

No Strictly news, just Vito cooking with his shirt off.
