Strictly's Giovanni says he's 'privileged' to work with Richie amid 'feud' rumours

Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice doubled down on denials he's feuding with Richie Anderson behind the scenes.

The pair scored a huge 32 out of 40 for their energetic routine last week, but away from the dancefloor, the pair have been subjected to rumours about their friendship. Sources claimed the pair were struggling in rehearsals, but Giovanni hit back at the claims, insisting the two of them get on really well as he praised the radio DJ for his commitment to training.

As they appeared on Strictly: It Takes Two today, the duo chatted about being the all-male partnership on the show this year. Whilst Giovanni described it as a "challenge", he explained how he is both "pleased and privileged" to work with Richie.
