After months of speculation, it seems that fans of Strictly Come Dancing may finally get the reunion they've been hoping for. Rumors are circulating that professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano di Prima, who left the show earlier this year, could be reuniting in Italy.
As the popular BBC series returned with a whole new group of celebrities, including Towie's Pete Wicks, comedian Chris McCausland, and Love Island contestant Tasha Ghouri, some fans couldn't help but notice the absence of their favorite professional dancers. Giovanni, 34, and Graziano, 30, had announced their departure after facing allegations of bullying and abuse. These allegations first came to light in May when Giovanni's former dance partner, Amanda Abbington, accused him of bullying and abusive behavior. Giovanni has denied all of the allegations, but the claims prompted a three-month internal investigation by the BBC, whose findings have yet to be released to the public.
Meanwhile, Graziano was recently spotted outside the studios of Ballando con le Stelle in Rome, the Italian version of Strictly. This marks the first time he's been seen since his departure from the show. He was accompanied by his wife, Giada Lina, who is also participating as a professional dancer on the show. The couple was seen showing affection towards each other and seemed to be in good spirits.
It was announced last week that Giovanni had also signed on to compete in Ballando con le Stelle, a move that some say is his way of seeking "sweet revenge" after his departure from Strictly. Interestingly, his new co-star on the Italian show happens to be Graziano's wife, Giada. This has sparked speculation that there could be a reunion between the two former Strictly dancers, either on the show or behind closed doors.
Giada shared the news of her participation on Instagram, expressing her excitement to be a part of the show for the fourth season. It's unclear if Graziano and Giovanni have already reunited, but Graziano was seen meeting his wife at the Ballando con le Stelle studios in Rome on Saturday.
The two former Strictly dancers were seen looking casual and relaxed, with Graziano sporting a white t-shirt and green shorts while Giada wore a white crop top and patterned shorts. The couple shared kisses and hugs on the street, giving the impression that they are very much in love and united.
For those unfamiliar with Ballando con le Stelle, it's the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars and has been on air since 2005. The show is filmed in Rome, which means Giovanni will be spending most of his winter away from his London home. Graziano, on the other hand, is said to have relocated to Italy to start a new chapter in his life.
As fans eagerly wait for updates on the possible reunion between Giovanni and Graziano, they can continue to enjoy this season of Strictly Come Dancing, which airs every Saturday on BBC One and Player. And who knows, we may just see these two talented dancers back together on the dancefloor in the future. After all, as they say, keep dancing!
