Giovanni Twists Ankle On Tour With Anton Du Beke

Giovanni Pernice has been forced to pull out of his tour with Strictly Come Dancing star Anton du Beke due to an ankle injury.

The professional dancer took to his Instagram account to share the sad news with his followers.

After twisting his ankle, the doctors advised Giovanni to take a few weeks off as he explained: “I need to rest.”

As a result, Anton will be left to dance solo on the pair’s live tour titled, Him & Me.

The 32-year-old said his injury also means he can no longer take part in any Strictly professional routines.

Giovanni began: “Hi everyone. So just a quick update. As you probably know, I’m on tour at the moment with Anton and doing one of the dances I did twist my ankle on stage.

“Now I’ve just been to the doctor, to the physio and he advised me to rest for a few weeks, which means I’m not going to be able to dance at the weekend.

“A few people are coming, and I will still be there to entertain all of you with Anton, with my other half, Anton du Beke.

“I will be singing along but unfortunately, Anton will do the dancing bit.”

He continued: “This also means that I’m going to miss a few of the Strictly professional group numbers.

“But I just need to give some rest to my ankle and go back stronger than ever for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing, which I am really looking forward to.

“Sending lots of love to everyone out there. And yeah, stay strong.”

Giovanni’s co-stars and fans were quick to wish the dancer well, with Strictly winner Rose Ayling-Ellis commenting: “Get well soon.”

One fan replied: “Plenty of rest with time to recover and remember keep smiling.”

While another went on: “Oh.. poor you. But it’s most important to recover fully… We love you always dancing or not. Hope your ankle get better soon. Sending lots of love from Japan.” (sic)

“Rest up Gio your health comes before anything and I’m sure I speak for millions when I say we can’t wait to see you back on Strictly,” one follower stated.
