Giovanni Pernice looked 'frustrated' after his much earlier than expected exit from the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, according to a body language expert.
Italian pro Giovanni, as well as being reigning champion, is a huge fan favourite, meaning that his elimination alongside new celeb partner Richie Anderson at the weekend, came as a huge shock to viewers of the smash hit BBC show. Giovanni and Richie weren't near the bottom of the leaderboard after their samba to Hakuna Matata on Saturday night but, sadly for them, their decent score wasn't enough to keep them out of the dreaded dance-off.
Giovanni and Richie landed in the bottom two alongside Fleur East and Vito Coppola, with their exit sealed by the fact that Craig Revel-Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke all opted to save Fleur and Vito. In the immediate aftermath of the result being confirmed, Richie looked gutted to be going as he spoke to Strictly host Tess Daly and then, on Monday, he and Giovanni joined Rylan Clark on spin-off show It Takes Two.
