GIOVANNI Pernice has had plans for another series of his BBC travel show axed as pressure grows on the Strictly pro.

Insiders said Giovanni had discussions about where his Adventures With series – with Strictly judge Anton du Beke – could go next but has now been advised they will not get another.

The pair previously visited Giovanni’s native Sicily and Spain for the BBC One shows.

It comes amid mounting pressure on the BBC over Gio’s conduct Strictly – with three high profile female celebrities filing complaints about him.

A source said: “Giovanni and Anton had conversations about another travel show and had discussed where they could go next after their trips to Sicily and Spain.

“But Giovanni has now been told this won’t be happening and there will not be another series.

“It’s embarrassing because he’d actively hinted about getting another run but all discussions are off and he’s been told the show is on the scrap heap now.”

Giovanni, 33, sensationally quit the BBC show last week, just days before The Sun exposed the mounting complaints about him.

A BBC insider said they had still not formally made a decision on the future of the show.

But those close to Gio said he’d been told another series would not be made in the light of the ongoing scandal.

The Sun can also reveal he has changed up his team and has signed up to talent agency Off Limits – who represent Love Island stars including Gemma Owen – in a desperate bid to rebuild his reputation.

A second insider added: “Giovanni is trying to rebuild and save face.

“This is all very damaging to his brand and he has pulled in a new team to try and help him out.

“He was previously looked after by a skilled public relationships expert but their working relationship ended earlier this month.

“Giovanni hopes this new company can help him but it’s not going to be an easy task.”

Last week The Sun revealed how three of Giovanni’s celebrity dance partners logged separate complaints with top legal firm Carter Ruck.

The three complainants have not been named but they are understood to be Amanda Abbington and two other high profile stars.

Earlier this week Korina Travis, 29, a former dance partner of Giovanni’s also lashed out and said: “He has done horrendous things to me.

“I will not speak about my experiences with him but I’m glad the world is seeing him for who he truly is.”

Our insider, who worked with Giovanni on his live tours, also claimed that the parents of one of the cast on his tour in 2018 were so concerned about the duty of care they reached out to speak to the producers.

They added: “With Gio it’s very Jekyll and Hyde, he is either on top form or you are in for a day of hell with him.

“He is a self-confessed perfectionist, and this was inflicted across the cast and crews on the tours, many of whom have very little positives to say about their experiences.”

Giovanni staunchly defended himself following the news of the complaints against him on Strictly.

In a statement, which he posted on Instagram, Giovanni said: “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.

“Those who have followed my journey on Strictly Come Dancing over the last decade will know that I am passionate and competitive.

“No one is more ambitious for my dance partners than me.”

A spokeswoman for £700-an-hour firm Carter Ruck confirmed they were gathering evidence which they would present to the BBC.

She said: “There have been numerous serious complaints made to the BBC who are now in the process of evidence gathering.

“As it is still an ongoing matter no further comment can be made at this stage”.

The BBC are also conducting a probe, for serious workplace misconduct, and are going through nine years of rehearsal footage.

Staff have been tasked with combing through footage from back when Giovanni joined Strictly in 2015 until last year – when he was paired with Amanda.

The Sherlock actress said she had PTSD from working with Giovanni on the show.
