Giovanni, making his comeback on Ballando con le Stelle following his departure from Strictly Come Dancing, was seen snuggling up with 43 year old actress Bianca Guaccero. Gio and actress Bianca, 43, were pushing the show’s new series with the Italian programme a couple of weeks behind. They sparked possible romance rumours with their very close bi-lingual post, Bianca perched on the dancer’s knee as they laugh together.

Amid giggling and embraces, Giovanni captioned the video: “My friends! ! Attention, attention. On all the social profiles of #BCLS (Facebook, Instagram and X) our voting cards have officially been released to support us in this episode! Just put a like on each one to overcome this week together! !” He encouraged his followers to visit his Instagram Story to cast their votes, showcasing a laid-back side after a rigorous year. It’s nearly a year since Amanda Abbington’s abrupt exit from Strictly left many questioning Giovanni’s future – now he seems to be moving forward, unfazed by past controversies. In the wake of a BBC investigation, Giovanni is breathing a sigh of relief as six out of the 17 accusations levelled by Amanda were upheld, with the most serious claims being dismissed. A source close to the dancer unveiled that Giovanni has had a challenging year, trying to clear his name from allegations made by actress Amanda during their partnership on Strictly’s 2023 series, reports the Mirror.

Although currently residing in Rome, Giovanni isn’t leaving the UK spotlight just yet, set to hit our screens in Channel 4’s Celebrity Hunted, where celebs play cat and mouse, attempting to evade capture for 28 days. Giovanni, 34, had filmed his turn on the show back in 2022 but the tape was shelved after actress Amanda accused him of bullying, and sparked the BBC probe. Gio and his pal, Strictly judge and veteran Anton Du Beke, last week announced a theatre tour, The Last Dance, running from January into May. While Giovanni was cleared by the BBC of violence and physical abuse, the final report did highlight instances it termed as “inappropriate behaviour of sexual banter in the workplace” and noted his use of “belittling, dismissive and insulting” language, including explicit words.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
