Stacey Dooley shuts down Strictly question about Giovanni: 'We're not friends'

Transcript

00:00I have talked to you about Strictly, Giovanni's making a statement over the weekend saying

00:04he rejects any suggestion of any threatening or abusive behaviour. I know you don't want to talk

00:09about that case, those allegations, but I guess it shines a spotlight on the intensity of that

00:16Strictly world that you... Yeah, I mean, what I would say is I don't have a friendship with

00:22Giovanni. I don't, I didn't even have a working relationship with Giovanni, so, and I haven't

00:26been involved with that show for years, so it would be probably irresponsible for me to comment

00:31on that. What I would say more broadly is I hope all of the women involved are okay, and I think

00:40actually it's, you know, separate from this. I, in my personal experience, I think it's a slippery

00:46slope not to believe women when they come forward and say certain things, but I just hope they're

00:51okay. Difficult time for the programme. Yeah, do you know what? Honestly, me and Kev, we're so boring. We

00:57sit at home on the sofa with a cup of tea. I mean, he's pals with a lot of the pros, but I just, yeah,

01:02I don't know enough about that incident to comment.
