Strictly star Giovanni Pernice tipped to make switch to Dancing On Ice

Giovanni's time on Strictly 2023 came to an end early last week

Strictly star Giovanni Pernice has been tipped to make the switch to a hit ITV show following his early exit from the show.

Last week it was announced that Giovanni’s dance partner, Amanda Abbington had quit the show – bringing an early end to his time in the competition too.

Amanda Abbington quits the show

Last week, it was announced that Amanda, 49, had decided to quit the show early. The former Sherlock star broke her silence about her exit with a statement on Instagram.

“It is with deepest regret that I had to leave Strictly. I did not come to this decision easily or lightly but for personal reasons I am unable to continue. It was an absolute joy working with my fellow contestants, they are a beautiful, hardworking, and talented group of people who I love and who I will miss seeing every Friday and Saturday and competing alongside,” she captioned the post.

However, Amanda failed to mention Giovanni in her post, sparking feud rumours.

Giovanni’s future on the show has since been called into question.
