Strictly star Giovanni Pernice says he’s too busy to go on holiday – but he’s fallen in love with Stevenage.
The dancer says his workaholic ways leave little time for jetting off to foreign climes.
But he does like exploring the towns he visits when on tour with the BBC1 show. And he reckons Hertfordshire has a couple of gems.

“I sometimes get a few days off when I’m on tour, and a few months ago when I was in Plymouth, I had two days to explore the beautiful coast.
“I was on my own, walking on the beach in the fresh air and rain. I absolutely loved it.”
The 32-year-old added: “I’m such a workaholic, I don’t really do holidays. I’ve never been on a mates’ break.

“I love a couple of days off, and it’s so important to have time to chill.
