UNDER-FIRE Giovanni Pernice shares a hug with girlfriend Molly Brown before returning to the studio.

The dancer , 33 — being investigated by the BBC over alleged behaviour on Strictly — began rehearsals yesterday with judge Anton du Beke, ahead of the duo's summer stage tour.

Giovanni — who had been with model Molly at Soho Farmhouse, Oxfordshire — added: "Whatever we do, we're going to get through it together."

The broadcaster's team were presented with the new claim as they look into the Strictly pro's workplace conduct.

Giovanni is alleged to have sent the clip via WhatsApp ahead of filming one of the live Saturday night shows.

The BBC has launched an internal investigation after receiving complaints from his previous dance partners, including TV presenter Laura Whitmore and actress Amanda Abbington , who are being represented by lawyers.

⁘The BBC was told the celebrity was shocked and upset to receive it on a WhatsApp message, hours before the couple were meant to be dancing together on live television.
