Strictly Come Dancing's former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice is set to star in a Channel 4 show with co-star Kai Widdrington after leaving the BBC series earlier this year

The professional dancer left Strictly earlier this year after the BBC began an investigation into claims of alleged misconduct by his former celebrity partner Amanda Abbington. Now, the former Strictly star is back on TV to compete on Celebrity Hunted, taking part in the reality show alongside fellow dancer Kai Widdrington. 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.
