Giovanni Pernice has shown his support to dance partner Richie Anderson as he appeared to stay silent on his early exit from Strictly Come Dancing. There were gasps on Sunday after the result from week three were revealed during the BBC One results show.
The dancing pair, one of two same-sex couples in this year's series, went up against Fleur East and Vito Coppola after they landed in the bottom two following Saturday night's Movie Week special. They, therefore, had to dance again for their survival in the dance contest on Sunday night after the shocking results were revealed.
After the second public vote of the 20th series, both couples were revealed to have received the fewest votes and had to reprise their third-week dances again after the red light of doom landed on them. Richie and Giovanni performed their head-turning samba to Hakuna Matata from the much-loved Disney movie The Lion King.
