Giovanni Pernice has shared a one-week countdown as he prepares for a Strictly Come Dancing reunion. The Italian dancer wasn't invited back to the ballroom for the BBC dance contest's 2024 series amid a probe into his teaching methods on the show.
An investigation was launched by the BBC following allegations made about Giovanni by former Strictly participant Amanda Abbington, with the results yet to be made public.
Giovanni has since announced he is joining the Italian "equivalent of Dancing With The Stars" following his departure from the UK's popular dance contest.
In a message posted on Instagram earlier this month, the 34-year-old announced he would be appearing on Ballando con le Stelle, saying he was "excited" to be back on the dancefloor.
