Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice wasn't impressed with Rylan Clark when he assumed what his character would be for the show's upcoming Movie Week. The Italian dancer and his celebrity partner Richie Anderson were speaking to the presenter on Monday night's edition of Strictly spin-off It Takes Two.
They were one of three couples to appear on the first edition of the BBC Two show of the week alongside Will Mellor and Nancy Xu and the departing Kaye Adam and Kai Widdrington. Giovanni and Richie were on hand to reflect on their second performance of the BBC One competition on Saturday night which won rave reviews.
BBC Radio 2 presenter Richie was praised for his quickstep, which he performed alongside reigning champ Giovanni, to Dancin' Fool by Barry Manilow. The dazzling, fast-paced performance received a standing ovation from judges Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas, with Motsi commenting: "Richie that was a moment, take it in, that was absolutely beautiful."
