Strictly Come Dancing 2021 winner Giovanni Pernice brought professional dancer turned judge Anton du Beke on a tour of Sicily as part of their BBC travel programme. Giovanni, who was born on the Italian island, has described the series with his Strictly co-star as a “dream project”.
Giovanni will be returning to screens after being eliminated from this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing in week two with his partner Richie Anderson.
The 32-year-old dancer and Anton spent six years together as colleagues battling out on the ballroom dance floor before the latter joined the judging panel.
Anton has permanently replaced judge Bruno Tonioli and scores the celebrity contestants alongside Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood.
Giovanni and Anton have spent some quality time together away from the show for their series Anton and Giovanni: Adventures in Sicily.

Anton has been part of the Strictly Come Dancing team since the show launched in 2004, whereas Giovanni joined in 2015.
The duo have toured together as part of their Him and Me show in recent years.
Creative Director for the BBC Mel Balac said: “Viewers will get to see Anton and Gio in a completely different light as we follow them on their road trip across Sicily.”
She continued: “Alongside seeing the boys enjoy and experience everything that Sicily has to offer, viewers will also see their amazing friendship grow as they learn new things about one another, including some things that they would probably rather not let anyone know.”
