Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has landed a big TV gig with the BBC. The dancer's latest venture has been revealed by the broadcaster as he teams up with one of his co-stars and new dance partner.
Giovanni and the BBC One dance contest's newest judge Anton Du Beke will star in a new three-part BBC travel series exploring Sicily. Reigning champion Giovanni, 32, will take Anton, 56, to explore the Italian island where he is from.
A teaser trailer shows Pernice and Du Beke sailing off the coast of Sicily. In the clip, Anton jokes "the capitano has got lost in the middle of the ocean" as they pan around to the scenic views.The BBC said the dancers will eat Sicilian cuisine while perhaps indulging in a tango or two in the new series.
