What Have You Missed Out On?

Lorraine Kelly questioned Giovanni Pernice, who is known for his attention to detail, about his collaboration with Amanda Abbington on the popular show Strictly.

Abbington exited Strictly prematurely after rumors emerged that she had disagreements with the dancer regarding his approach to training. This became a significant topic of conversation, as Abbington's former dance partner Michelle Visage claimed that she had disagreements with Pernice on a daily basis. Recently, it has been reported that Laura Whitmore, Ranvir Singh, and Abbington - all of whom were paired with Pernice - had a meeting to discuss their experiences on Strictly.

The Scottish TV presenter asked Pernice about how he teaches during his time on Strictly Come Dancing. The host inquired if the instructor planned to switch things up in the future. Pernice didn't directly respond to the question asked. Instead, he expressed disappointment that Abbington had to exit the competition, noting that she had the talent to potentially reach the finals.

Discovering What, How, And Why?

Giovanni Pernice made an appearance on the television show Lorraine, where he was joined by Anton Du Beke. This was captured on screen by ITV.

During a TV interview, the presenter mentioned that the last attempt on Strictly did not work out. She questioned if Pernice, who is known as a perfectionist, would make any changes this time around. The presenter then said Pernice's goal was to win, which she completely understood.

Pernice expressed his true feelings without hesitation, stating that winning was not the only important aspect. As a skilled dancer, he believed it was unfortunate that his partner, Amanda, withdrew from the competition prematurely, given her potential to advance to the final. He went on to say that sometimes circumstances can be even more disappointing, and that he believed that with Amanda's exceptional talent, they could have gone all the way to the final.

Anton and Giovanni had a great time exploring Spain and their adventures were documented by BBC.

Pernice shared his work habits with Du Beke on the premiere of Adventures In Spain on Monday.

He confided in his friend, saying "I'm what they call a workaholic. I have this fear that it will all come to an end one day, and that's the reality."

Naturally, I am backing myself and also providing financial support to my family residing in Sicily. Therefore, I am anxious about the possibility that if I do not continue to support them, their livelihood will come to a halt because of me.
