Strictly Come Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice confirmed “chapter completed” as he made a major career announcement on social media.
The dancer, who has reportedly been in hot water at the BBC over his methods of training celebrity partners, has finished his Let Me Entertain You tour, which travelled around the UK bringing his epic performances to fans in the flesh. Giovanni shared a video to sum things up – but one line left fans fretting.

It was the announcement of Giovanni’s “last” ever solo tour that had fans fretting, with one begging: “You have the most amazing talent and I’ve loved every one of your shows… don’t like the words ‘The Last Dance’… but I’m sure you’ll have something else in the pipeline?!”

In a trailer for the new tour, Giovanni said: “Ladies and gentlemen… welcome to The Last Dance.” He said of his 2024 tour: “It’s been incredible again and again. Thank you so much for your support.” Giovanni has performed to more than half a million people in his solo tours, receiving more than 700 standing ovations.
