Giovanni Pernice has been absent from Strictly Come Dancing since the release of the findings of the probe into his conduct with his 2023 partner Amanda Abbington

Giovanni Pernice, the former Strictly Come Dancing professional, might make a comeback in a special episode celebrating the show's 20th anniversary, according to rumours.

As 2024 marks two decades since the beloved dance competition first aired, the upcoming episode is expected to showcase "iconic performances and familiar faces past and present". A source told The Sun: "Giovanni made history when he won with Rose so footage from their emotional silent performance is set to feature."

Following the release of the report's findings, Giovanni expressed relief, stating that the past six months had been "difficult". He said: "Today I'm happy because at the beginning there were very very serious allegations thrown out at me but as of today, none of the serious allegations have been upheld. All the threatening, abusive, harassment behaviour allegations have not been upheld.
