After a turbulent exit from Strictly Come Dancing, Giovanni Pernice is finally returning to UK television – and this time, he’s not holding back! The Italian dancer, who left the BBC show following a dramatic feud with actress Amanda Abbington in 2023, is set to take on the intense challenges of Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins next year!
Sources reveal Giovanni has secretly jetted off to Asia to film the high-stakes show, where a group of celebrities will face a grueling SAS selection process, overseen by ex-special forces operators. But is Giovanni ready to face the public eye again after the scandal that rocked his career?
With his immense popularity, especially among female fans, Giovanni is expected to draw in viewers from his Strictly days, and producers are excited about what he’ll bring to the show. “Giovanni has always been a huge favourite, and we’re thrilled to have him on board,” said a source close to the production.
After a painful break from the spotlight, Giovanni is thrilled to return and prove to the world that he’s still got what it takes to entertain, challenge himself, and emerge victorious!
This series promises to be one for the books, as Giovanni shows just how far he’s come since his departure from Strictly. And with his physical fitness and mental toughness, he’s more than ready for the wild ride that lies ahead!
