Giovanni Pernice has put pen to paper on what he described as a 'dream' project overseas, prompting fans to plead with the Strictly Come Dancing star not to leave the BBC show.
Since making an earlier than expected exit from the Strictly ballroom last year, when he and The One Show's Richie Anderson, were the second couple to be voted off the show; Giovanni has been kept very busy with his own sell out tour, Made in Italy, which played to audiences all over the country after kicking off in January, including London's iconic Palladium.
Having turned down Strictly's own live tour to do his own show, Giovanni, who won the Glitterball trophy in 2021 alongside Rose Ayling-Ellis, then hit the promotional trial for his and judge Anton Du Beke's BBC series, Adventures in Sicily, as the two travelled to Giovanni's homeland, being joined by Rose half way through.
