Giovanni Pernice returns to TV in Celebrity Hunted, stirring up past Strictly drama and a new romance with Bianca Guaccero
London: Giovanni Pernice is back on our screens! He’s stepping into the spotlight again with Celebrity Hunted after leaving Strictly Come Dancing. It’s his first gig since the drama surrounding his exit.
The show kicks off on January 5 at 9 PM. Celebrities will be on the run, trying to outsmart a team of expert hunters. These hunters are no joke—they’ve got all the tools, from drones to GPS tracking.
Giovanni, who’s 34 and originally from Italy, left Strictly after some serious allegations came up involving his dance partner, Amanda Abbington. While he was mostly cleared, the BBC did apologize to her for some upheld complaints.
After his Strictly stint, he won the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars. Now, he’s teaming up with his buddy Kai Waddington for Celebrity Hunted. Giovanni shared that he’s thrilled to be back on British TV, but it’s been a stressful ride. He’s super competitive, while Kai is more laid-back, which led to some funny moments.
On top of all this, there’s buzz about a romance between Giovanni and Bianca Guaccero, his partner from Ballando con le Stelle. Their chemistry was off the charts during a recent dance, and they even shared a passionate kiss!
Just after winning the show, Bianca posted sweet photos of them on Instagram, hinting they’re taking their relationship to the next level. They even got matching tattoos of their win date! But she also seemed to throw some shade at Amanda, wishing Giovanni to rise above negativity. Sounds like there’s a lot going on!
