As fans probed to find out what Giovanni's big secret is, one wrote in the comment section: "Gio whatever happens do not leave Strictly please and thank you."
"Doing a show over there but hopefully not leaving Strictly?" another guessed.
A third speculated: "Signed up for residency at the hotel. Bringing the show to Dubai next year and no strictly 2024???"
Meanwhile, other Strictly fans wished Giovanni the best in his new mystery venture. "My guess - launching your own cologne/ aftershave/ toiletries range?" said one. Whatever it is, wishing you all success!"
