Giovanni Pernice gushes he's 'happy and ready to have fun' as he kickstarts rehearsals with his stunning celebrity partner for Italian version of Strictly - hours before the UK show's launch
Taking to Instagram at the weekend, Giovanni larked about in fun photos with Italian actress and singer Bianca Guaccero, 43 - which comes just hours ahead of the UK show's big launch.
