Strictly champion Giovanni Pernice is reportedly “favourite” to be part of the show’s same-sex partnership this year.
Giovanni made history last year when he was paired with Rose Ayling-Ellis.
Of course, she was the first deaf contestant on the show and the pair went on to lift the Glitter Ball trophy as champions.
However, with this year’s line-up in the process of being announced, sources have claimed that they know who Giovanni’s 2022 partner will be.
Who will Giovanni Pernice be paired with on Strictly this year?
Rumour has it that Giovanni is “favourite” to be paired with Richie Anderson on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Richie was one of the first stars to be added to the line-up and revealed he’ll be dancing as part of a same-sex couple.
Last year Johannes Radebe was paired with John Whaite and the pair made it to the final alongside Giovanni and Rose.
Giovanni did admit ahead of Johannes’ partnership with John that he was “more than ready” to be partnered with a man.
So could he get his wish this year in a switch up from his previous partners?
One source certainly seems to think so.
