Strictly Come Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice once opened up about the “sacrifice” he made to get where he is today.
The Italian dancer, 32, grew up loving dancing and put in a lot of work to get where he is today.
However, Giovanni – who is on screen tonight for the final episode of his travel show, Anton & Giovanni’s Adventures in Sicily, – admitted this came with sacrifices like having to miss Christmases and birthdays.
Giovanni Pernice on ‘sacrifice’
In an interview with The Guardian in August last year, the dancer explained that he left home in Sicily at 14 and found it “hard”.
However, he soon became “addicted” to the “experience of winning” competitions.
He added: “The journey getting to where I am today took hard work and a lot of sacrifices, but it was worth it. From those teenage years onwards, I had competitions every week.
