Giovanni Pernice’s girlfriend Molly Brown wears a gold band on her wedding finger after couple welcomed new addition to their family – amid the dancer’s ‘serious misconduct’ probe
Giovanni Pernice’s supportive girlfriend Molly Brown was spotted wearing a gold band on her wedding finger during a BBC investigation into allegations of ‘serious misconduct’ against the professional dancer.
The model stepped out wearing the ring hours after the couple revealed they had welcomed a “new addition” to their family – a Pomeranian puppy named Roxy – following their return from a romantic getaway.
The 33-year-old dancer and his girlfriend recently returned from a trip to Dubai and Portugal amid a furor over his ‘militant’ training style, with the BBC forced to launch an investigation into ‘serious workplace misconduct’ after three of his partners had sought legal help.
After flying back to Britain, Molly was first spotted in London wearing a smart white blazer with leggings and knee-high black boots.
The blonde beauty held her left hand to her face and revealed the simple gold band, which will no doubt leave fans wondering if it was a proposal during their outing.

The sighting comes hours after Molly unveiled her new pup on her Instagram page on Wednesday night, suggesting they had other things on their minds than the looming investigation into Giovanni’s behavior.
Alongside a photo of Giovanni cuddling the Pomeranian, Molly wrote: “Meet Roxy.”
There was no reference to the current media storm Giovanni finds himself in, following claims that Strictly bosses are bracing for more complaints from former contestants.
The BBC is reportedly sifting through nine years of footage of strictly professional Giovanni’s training as the explosive show scandal continues to rage.
It is also claimed that Amanda Abbington – one of three stars to have filed complaints against Giovanni – vowed to leave ‘nothing unsaid’ during her meeting with investigators this week.
Colleague Korina Travis, who performed with Giovanni at private functions and has no association with Strictly, accused the Italian dancer on Monday evening of behaving questionably during the collaboration.
“I have known him for years as a fellow competitor and he has done terrible things to me,” she said in a statement.
She added: ‘I won’t talk about my experiences with him… I’ll leave it at that.’

In recent weeks the professional dancer has come under fire for his ‘militant’ training style, with the BBC forced to launch an investigation into ‘serious claims of workplace misconduct’.
Amanda, who dramatically withdrew from the competition last year and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after the show, is said to have met Laura and Ranvir, 46, earlier this year for an ’emotional summit’ to ‘compare notes’ about their time with him to work.
Giovanni shared a post on Instagram saying he was “completely surprised” by the allegations, which he denies.
He said in a statement: ‘You will be as surprised as I am that allegations have been made in the media this week about my dance teaching methods.
‘I naturally reject any suggestion of abusive or threatening behavior and I look forward to clearing my name.
‘Those who have followed my journey on Strictly Come Dancing over the last ten years will know that I am passionate and competitive. No one is more ambitious for my dance partners than me.
“I have always strived to help them become the very best dancers they can be. This has always come from a place of love and the will to win – for me and my dance partners.
“Thank you again for your continued love and support!”
Following his statement, Giovanni was dealt another blow after friend and former Strictly dance partner Rose Ayling-Ellis ‘didn’t get involved’ as he fights ‘to clear his name’ amid an investigation into his workplace conduct.
Giovanni was believed to still be on good terms with Rose, with whom he won Strictly Come Dancing in 2021.
However, it is now claimed that Rose is ‘shocked’ by the allegations but ‘believes what the others say’.
A source said The sun: ‘Rose finds the whole situation very difficult. She had a really great experience with Gio, so she’s really shocked by all of this.
‘She believes what others say, of course, but she just tries not to get involved. She won’t talk about it publicly.’
