A professional dancer from Italy has been a fan favourite on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing after joining as a professional in 2015.

Giovanni won the competition with his celebrity partner, Rose Ayling-Ellis in 2021 after reaching the semi final the year before with presenter Ranvir Singh.

The dancer of EastEnders actress Rose won huge praise for the silent moment in their Couple's Choice performance.

In 2023, Giovanni was partnered with actress Amanda Abbington but she made the decision to quit the show in October, citing medical reasons.

Giovanni holds the record for the most 10s scored during Strictly.
