Giovanni Pernice's three-word statement with Strictly Come Dancing co-star after major decision

Giovanni Pernice shared a joint message with one of his former Strictly Come Dancing co-stars as they continue to tour the country together after making a major decision.

The professional dancer is currently touring the country with his friend and Strictly judge Anton Du Beke in their own joint-headline show, titled Together Again.

But it's been confirmed that fans won't have the opportunity to see the pair take to the stage next year, despite the huge popularity of the duo's show.

At a recent show, Giovanni told disappointed fans: "We call [our show] Together because we like spending time together and we've had a lot of fun over the last few years - but we're not going out on tour next year, we're having a year off."

The pair insisted that "this isn't goodbye", admitting that they "can't stay away from each other" and intend to reunite after "a bit of time off". Giovanni said: "Obviously we are taking a break, but it's not a goodbye - it's an arrivederci."

Now, Giovanni has taken to Instagram with an update on his and Anton's current show. Sharing a picture of them both on stage, he said: "The next 2 week.. Ireland - Northern Ireland - Scotland." He then added: "We can’t wait!! [red heart emoji]."

Giovanni's girlfriend, actress Bianca Guaccero, was quick to comment, as she wrote: "Volate! [red heart emoji]," which translate to 'fly' in English.
