BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice sends two-word message to co-star as they miss big reunion

Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has sent a two-word message to his co-star. Giovanni is preparing to head out on one of his biggest tours to date alongside one of his co-stars from the BBC One dance contest.

The Italian dancer has once again enlisted his fellow Strictly pro Lauren Oakley as his leading lady for his Let Me Entertain You live tour. The pair will kick things off later this month, on January 18, in Hayes at the Beck Theatre and travel up and down the country right through until the end of April where the tour will end at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking.

As they continued rehearsals, Lauren, who had her first celebrity dance partner - Channel 4 News' Krishnan Guru-Murthy - during the 2023 series, took to Instagram with a picture of themselves on stage during a previous tour.

She looked fabulous in a hot pink mini dress as she wrapped her arms around Giovanni's neck, who in return appeared intense as he gripped his hands around his dance partner's waist.

Lauren captioned the post with the kiss mark emoji before adding: "…soon @giovannipernice @strictlytheatreco." And Giovanni was quick to respond as he replied: "Can’t wait," alongside the love heart eyes emoji.

And the pair's fans and followers were also quick to share their excitement about the upcoming shows and praise their on-stage partnership.
