Strictly's Giovanni Pernice says 'you know me' as he's left emotional over achievement supported by Rose Ayling-Ellis

Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice appeared emotional as he celebrated his latest achievement which saw him supported by his winning dance partner Rose Ayling-Ellis. The former EastEnders actress, who lifted the coveted Glitterball trophy with the dancer in 2021, was in the audience as he took one of the country's most prestigious stages.

Giovanni has been touring the country for weeks now with his show, Made in Italy, which he took to the London Palladium stage over the weekend. Taking to Instagram, the Italian dancer, who has been a pro on the BBC One dance show for several years, posted a picture of himself posing outside the iconic venue as his poster appeared on the screens outside.

"One day somebody told me: 'Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine'. And last night I felt proud of myself!" Giovanni typed alongside the post. He then shared a video of the crow giving him huge applause and a standing ovation before posing with the team who helped him put the show together.
