FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Strictly s giovanni pernice hints at favourite with cryptic instagram post before final | History Defined

Giovanni Pernice hinted he had a clear favourite going into Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing final, with a cryptic post on Instagram.

It's now been 12 months since Italian pro Giovanni lifted the Strictly Glitterball trophy, alongside EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis, with the couple living up to their billing as bookies' favourites to beat John Whaite and Johannes Radebe in the 2021 final, after AJ Odudu was forced to withdraw due to injury.

On Saturday night, Molly Rainford, Hamza Yassin, Helen Skelton and Fleur East and their respective partners will battle it out for this year's Strictly trophy, each performing three dances in the final in a bid to win the all important public vote. As he prepared to relinquish his title to another pro, Giovanni took to Instagram to relive his and Rose's winning moment and address this year's final.
