Strictly Come Dancing stars Anton du Beke and Giovanni Pernice are saying goodbye to the ballroom and heading off on a new adventure, with a new BBC show. The new show will be an entertainment travel series which will see Anton and Giovanni heading to Giovanni's home of Sicily.
The show will be named Anton and Giovanni: Adventures in Sicily and there will be three episodes in the series. Giovanni will be Anton’s guide as the pair discover what the sensational Mediterranean island has to offer, exploring everything from breathtaking sights such as Mount Etna and authentic old towns right through to sampling Sicilian cuisine and perhaps even indulging in a tango or two.
With sun, sea, lots of laughs and plenty of surprises in store as well, Anton and Giovanni promise to give viewers a Mediterranean adventure to remember. The show is set to air next year in 2023.

Speaking about the show Anton said: "When I first heard about this trip it was pretty irresistible. What's not to love? It's all my favourite things, great food, great country and spending time in the sunshine with Giovanni. Marvellous!"
Giovanni added: "To say this has been a dream project is an understatement! Taking Anton to my much-loved home of Sicily was simply Bellissima! We danced, we laughed and had the time of our lives - with great culture, food and company. I cannot wait for viewers in the UK to come on this journey with us. See you in the Sicilian sun! Ciao"
Currently and Anton and Giovanni have their own dance show together, called Him & Me, where they are bringing audiences a collaboration of dance, song and light-hearted fun as they tour the UK. Both are long-running cast members of Strictly Come Dancing with Anton being part of Strictly since it began in 2004 and Giovanni since 2005.
