Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice has publicly shown his condemnation for the decision to axe the latest dance pair from the hit BBC show. Last year's winner Giovanni, who at the time partnered with actor Rose Ayling-Ellis, took to social media to share his thoughts about Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin's exit from the competition.
In the previous series Giovanni lifted Strictly's coveted Glitterball trophy alongside celebrity partner Rose after the pair won hearts and the dance floor with a string of stunning routines. As the show returned this year, Giovanni enjoyed the first dance of the new series with EastEnders star Rose before joining the 2022 competition in an all-male partnership alongside Radio 2 and One Show host Richie Anderson.
The top spot in the contest was snatched away from the pair this year as their time in the show came to an end much earlier than expected. Giovanni and Richie were just the second couple to be voted out in the new series, reported Chronicle Live. Giovanni now only appears in group numbers on Strictly, but he has made his opinions known about the latest elimination, which he very public condemned as a 'too early' exit.
