BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice looks completely different as he recreates 20 year old photo

Giovanni Pernice has given fans a glimpse at his childhood as he recreated a photo taken 20 years ago. The Strictly Come Dancing star is currently busy preparing for the upcoming 20th series of the BBC One dance contest.

The reigning champ has, however, taken time out to look back at his seven-year-old self as he opened up about being the hit show's 'lothario'. Giovanni posted the nostalgic snap to his Instagram Story. It showed him as a young boy in a pair of blue shorts with a yellow bum bag wrapped around his waist.

A second photo then showed the professional dancer now, at 31 years old, donning the same outfit but this time showing off his tattoos and ripped physique.
