Strictly’s Giovanni ‘gives away’ celeb who he’s dancing with for 2023 series after fans ‘spot clue’
STRICTLY’S Giovanni Pernice appeared to ‘give away’ the celeb he’ll be dancing with for the 2023 series, after fans spotted a clue.
Giovanni won Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 with Rose Ayling-Ellis, but was knocked out of the competition early with Richie Anderson last year.
And now, as the new series gets set to hit screens, fans have noticed that the 32-year-old is only following two of the celebs from the new line-up.
Giovanni has followed Amanda Abbingdon and Zara McDermott on Instagram, leading Strictly fans to speculate that he’ll be partnered with either Zara or Amanda.
Fifteen names have been unveiled for the competition, including Love Island star Zara.
Elsewhere is Strictly’s oldest contestant Angela Rippon, 78, who hosted the show’s predecessor Come Dancing, as well as the likes of presenter Angela Scanlon, 39, and Casualty‘s Nigel Harman, 49.
Which pro partner the celebs will be with for the show is yet to be announced, but that hasn’t stopped fan speculation.
Giovanni’s Strictly future was left in doubt recently, after he twisted his ankle.
Giovanni told his followers: “As you probably know I’m on tour at the moment with Anton and doing one of the dances I did twist my ankle on stage.
“I have just been to the doctor, to the physio, and he advised to rest for a few weeks which means I’m not going to be able to dance at the weekend. I know a few people are coming. I will still be there to entertain you with my other half Anton Du Beke. We will be singing along but unfortunately Anton will do the dancing bit.”
He continued: “This also means that I am going to miss a few of the Strictly professional group numbers but I just need to give some rest to my ankle and come back stronger than ever for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing which I’m really looking forward to.”
The star’s fans rushed to offer him their support, with one person writing: “Hope your ankle recovers quickly so that you are back dancing soon! Lots of love and best wishes.”
A second said: “Please rest and take care. Wishing you a speedy recovery.”
