Strictly Come Dancing’s first live show ‘is thrown into chaos as a celeb “threatens to quit” due to their partner’s “aggressive” training style’<\/h2>\n

Strictly Come Dancing’s first live show has reportedly been thrown into chaos after Amanda Abbington threatened to quit following clashes with partner Giovanni Pernice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actress, 49, is said to be ‘left shaken’ by the pro’s ‘militant and aggressive’ training style with tensions escalating between the pair.<\/p>\n

According To The Sun, the duo have been at loggerheads with Amanda wanting to quit hours before taking to the iconic BBC dance floor for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A source told the publication:\u00a0‘Giovanni is a hard taskmaster and takes the competition very, very seriously’.<\/p>\n

Going on to brand his style of teaching as ‘Incredibly brusque’ which can sometimes ‘upset his partners’.<\/p>\n

Butting heads:\u00a0Strictly Come Dancing ‘s first live show has reportedly been thrown into chaos after Amanda Abbington, 49, threatened to quit following clashes with partner Giovanni Pernice, 33<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hard work:\u00a0The actress\u00a0 is said to be ‘left shaken’ by the pro’s ‘militant and aggressive’ training style with tensions escalating between the pair (pictured on Tuesday)<\/p>\n

They said: ‘Amanda was really looking forward to dancing with him, but has found his aggressive training style and attitude pretty difficult to handle’.<\/p>\n

Before adding: ‘He is quite militant in his approach to training. She\u2019s been left very shaken, and has liaised with her team about quitting’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MailOnline have contacted BBC for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Laura Whitmore, 38,\u00a0 previously revealed she felt ‘extremely uncomfortable’ being partnered with the Italian hunk on the BBC\u00a0ballroom competition in 2016.<\/p>\n

The Irish host left the competition in week seven feeling ‘broken’ and admitting she ‘cried every day’.<\/p>\n

The Irish presenter wasn’t happy about being paired with her close friend Georgia May Foote’s ex not long after the pair had split – and felt ‘extremely uncomfortable’ dancing with him.<\/p>\n

Former Coronation Street actress Georgia – who had fallen for Giovanni when they were paired together on Strictly in 2015, only to split the following summer – was still feeling heartbroken at the time and Laura inadvertently found herself ‘in the middle of someone’s break-up’.<\/p>\n

Writing for The Huffington Post, Laura said: ‘I love dancing \u2013 I topped the leaderboard twice \u2013 but I was thrown into the middle of a break-up that had nothing to do with me. Once again, I was a “rumoured love interest”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shocking: The duo are said to have been at loggerheads with Amanda wanting to quit hours before taking to the iconic BBC dance floor for the first time<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Throwback:\u00a0Laura Whitmore, 38, previously revealed she felt ‘extremely uncomfortable’ being partnered with the Italian hunk on the BBC ballroom competition in 2016 (pictured together)\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I was placed with a dance partner I was extremely uncomfortable with \u2013 and in the end I felt broken, I cried every day. And I really was broken, both mentally and physically, by the end.’<\/p>\n

Strictly Come Dancing\u00a0fans have been given their first glimpse of the first live show, as the twelve couples’ songs and dances have been revealed, with Amanda and Giovanni set to dance a\u00a0classic Viennese Waltz to Pointless by Lewis Capaldi.<\/p>\n

And making history is Angela Rippon, 78, who becomes the show’s oldest ever contestant when she takes to the floor on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The former newsreader will be performing a Cha Cha to Dame Shirley Bassey’s cover of Pink’s Get The Party Started with pro partner Kai Widdrington.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile actor Layton Williams, who fans have already tipped to raise the glittery trophy, will show off his skills with a Samba.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skills:\u00a0Meanwhile actor Layton Williams, who fans have already tipped to raise the glittery trophy, will show off his skills with a Samba\u00a0 (pictured with partner\u00a0Nikita Kuzmin)<\/p>\n

Viewers of last week’s launch took to Twitter to predict the Bad Education star would make history by becoming the show’s first ever winning same-sex pairing alongside pro Nikita\u00a0Kuzmin.<\/p>\n

This was despite the series\u00a0facing a ‘fix’ row after fans claimed the actor had an unfair advance following his West End appearances and Stage School training.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Angela’s song choice was a huge hit for Goldfinger songstress Dame Shirley, 86, who released the cover after first performing it on stage in 2007.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Layton and Nikita will dance to Little Mix’s catchy pop tune Touch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Love Island star Zara McDermott will also perform a lively Cha Cha to 90s hit Crush by Jennifer Page.<\/p>\n

She previously revealed rehearsals had left her ‘bleeding’ after\u00a0partner Graziano Di Prima\u00a0made her wear uncomfortable ‘men’s shoes’ to practice ahead of their first live perfomance.<\/p>\n
