Giovanni Pernice has returned to the small screen with an appearance in Strictly Come Dancing's one-off 20th anniversary special, which is set to air next week, following his bullying probe.

The series, filmed by Channel 4 in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, will see Giovanni and Kai attempt to outrun an elite team of Hunters alongside five other famous pairs. Channel 4 announced that the series will return in January, with Loose Women's Denise Welch taking part with her husband Lincoln Townley, Blue's Duncan James teaming up with Christine McGuinness and Celebrity Big Brother's Zeze Millz signing up with podcaster David Whitely. EastEnders star Danielle Harold is also taking on the challenge alongside Corrie's Kimberly Hart-Simpson, as well as news anchors Simon McCoy and Lucrezia Millarini.
