Giovanni Pernice appears to have worried some of his fans after sharing a 'bigger than ever' announcement. The Strictly Come Dancing star is currently travelling up and down the country performing to audiences in his Made in Italy show.
The Italian dancer missed the BBC one dance contest's live tour earlier in the year which saw the 2022 finalists - Helen Skelton, Hamza Yassin, Molly Rainford, Fleur East and their professional partners - wowing fans in arenas across the UK.
And fans were gutted that he missed out. But now, they're concerned he may miss the tour again, which is likely to take place at the start of 2024, and worried that he may have left Strictly after being the second dancer to leave the 2022 competition alongside celebrity partner Richie Anderson.
Sharing his new career news on Instagram, Giovanni announced that he'd be going back on tour from January 2024 with his new show, titled Giovanni: Let Me Entertain You.
Sharing a mesmerising poster for the tour on Instagram, he wrote: "What 2024 looks like," before letting fans know that tickets went on sale on Wednesday (March 8). Then today (Wednesday), he shared a follow-up post with the same image but full of all the dates he'll be taking on so far.
"Here you go!! Just few more venues to be added .. if you don’t see your local venue in the list is because the show is going to be bigger than [ever]," the 32-year-old penned. "So maybe the stage Doesn’t fit our set … (so you can have an idea of how big I want it to be [crying laughing emoji]). Book now and make sure you get the spot u want."
But @flowers_at_the_barn was quick to reply: "What if you win strictly? Will you not be going on the strictly tour?" to which Giovanni simply replied: "Nope!"
Meanwhile, @redheadsdoitbest asked: "Are you leaving strictly? Tbh I need another reason not to watch it this year anyway and you leaving would be the final nail for me to stop watching it." But Giovanni has previously addressed quit reports.
It came after his early exit from the competition last year which came less than 12 months after he lifted the coveted Glitterball trophy alongside EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis.
But he was quick to hit back at the claims and took to his Instagram Stories to share a news headline, which read: "Giovanni threatens to quit the show after being 'wasted' this series". He then added: "LOL [laughing face emojis] I'm not going anywhere!!!"
