While many of his Strictly Come Dancing colleagues are now busy rehearsing for the show's live tour, Giovanni Pernice has premiered a new BBC series, with another well known face from the ballroom.
Having won Strictly in 2021 with EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, Giovanni returned to the dancefloor last year, but viewers didn't end up seeing too much of him, as the Italian pro and celeb partner, The One Show's Richie Anderson, were voted off after just a few weeks,
After his early exit from the programme, Giovanni also won't be taking part in the Strictly arena tour, which gets going in Birmingham later this month, with his absence from the line-up upsetting fans, when it was announced last month. However, while he won't be on the Strictly tour, Giovanni will be hitting the road with his own Made in Italy tour, with another Strictly pro, Lauren Oakley joining him as his leading lady.
