Giovanni Pernice has admitted that he would have been “jealous” if he hadn’t been paired with Rose Ayling-Ellis on Strictly Come Dancing.
Strictly Come Dancing concludes Saturday 18 December at 7pm on BBC One.
“I think at first, obviously it was different because I’ve never done anything like this before,” the dancer said.
Appearing on Strictly’s sister show It Takes Two on Thursday (16 December), Pernice was asked by host Janette Manrara how he’d approached the “challenge” when first learning he would be dancing with Ayling-Ellis, who is deaf.
