Meanwhile, Giovanni's appearance on the iconic dance competition was recently left in doubt after he injured his ankle while on tour. Speaking about his injury, Geovanni revealed:
As you probably know I'm on tour at the moment with Anton, and doing one of the dances I did twist my ankle on stage. I have just been to the doctor, to the physio, and he advised me to rest for a few weeks.
I will still be there to entertain you with my other half Anton Du Beke. We will be singing along but unfortunately, Anton will do the dancing bit.
He added:
This also means that I am going to miss a few of the Strictly professional group numbers, but I just need to give some rest to my ankle and come back stronger than ever for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing - which I'm really looking forward to.
