Giovanni Pernice shared a moving message with fans as he marked a pretty important milestone in his life. Taking to Instagram on Saturday (December 17), the Italian dancer recalled winning Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 ahead of new winners being announced as the 2022 series comes to an end.
Giovanni stormed to victory during the 19th series of the BBC One dance contest alongside former EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis. Their partnership - and their impressive moves - led to them lifting the Glitterball trophy during the dance contest's grand finale back in December 2021.
The pair also made history as their win made Rose the show's first-ever deaf winner after being the first-ever deaf contestant to take part. And It's fair to say fans were gutted when their journey finally came to an end, which came after they became champions for a second time after winning all but two of the Strictly Come Dancing tour shows during the 33-date run earlier this year.
