"I am so happy to be back on tour. Thank you all for your continued support – you messages and love mean so very much to me. I will hopefully see many of you very soon and I look forward to clearing my name."

"Pernice, who lifted the glitterball trophy with the EastEnders star, claimed that he is adamant to "co-operating fully" with an ongoing investigation by the BBC.
