Giovanni Pern ice has thrown his support behind his former Strictly Come Dancing partner Rose Ayling-Ellis after she shared news of a 'scary' new challenge in her career.
It's not yet been 12 months since Giovanni and EastEnders actress Rose lifted the Glitterball trophy, after bowling over both the Strictly judges and viewers at home with a string of amazing performances, particularly their Couple's Choice routine to Clean Bandit number 1 Symphony, which saw them dance to 10 seconds of utter silence in support of the deaf community.
Rose and Giovanni beat all male couple John Whaite and Johannes Radebe in the final and reigning champion Giovanni was one half of a same-sex partnership for the new series, alongside Radio 2 and One Show star Richie Anderson. However, Giovanni's Strictly run this year is already over, with him and Richie coming the second couple to be given the boot from the ballroom.
