Giovanni Pernice backed by Strictly dancer despite venture being axed

Giovanni Pernice and Anton Du Beke are set to take to the stage together in one month's time, but reports have claimed that Anton's TV show with Giovanni has been axed

Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice, two of Strictly Come Dancing's most beloved stars, are set to hit the stage together in just a month for their highly anticipated tour. Despite his future on Strictly being up in the air as the BBC has yet to announce its professional line-up for 2024, Giovanni has already revealed plans for a break next year following another round of touring and he's still very much involved in other projects. Passionately denying allegations of "abuse" with former partners, Giovanni maintains he is ardent and competitive, clarifying it "always comes from a place of love and wanting to win."
