Their performances on Strictly Come Dancing might now seem like a distant memory, but Laura Whitmore has been left devastated over claims she bullied her pro dance partner, Giovanni Pernice.
Rumour has it she bombarded him with nasty text messages berating his skills as a dancer. Ouch.
A source told the Mail Online: "Laura was a piece of work, she really was. She made Giovanni’s life hard.
“She was a difficult, cold fish – she was a bully to Giovanni and he behaved like a total gent.
"Laura sent him loads of texts basically saying he was no good and was not doing anything for her and abusing him.”
Meanwhile, another source has claimed the pair were secretly feuding because Laura found Giovanni to be rude.
“They clashed during rehearsals as Laura got increasingly agitated with Gio’s tone and general rudeness,” the insider told The Sun.
“They pulled it together for the live shows but behind the scenes it was a different story.”
But TV presenter Laura has taken to Twitter to explain how upset she is over rumours her working relationship with Giovanni turned “toxic” during the show.
She tweeted: “I believe in kindness. I am heart broken by the complete lies that have been printed today.”
Tbh, Laura doesn’t seem like the angry text message type, so we’re sceptical about this whole thing.
Plus, on the show Giovanni personally thanked Laura for being his partner after they were eliminated during week 7 of the competition.
He said to Laura: “I would like to say again thank you for being such a great partner, an amazing person to work with, you teach me a lot and I will never ever forget this journey.”
Doesn’t sound like a guy who’s got beef, does it?
Hmm…
