Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice join forces for BBC travel series

OHMYGOSSIP — Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice are to star in a new BBC travel series.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge and the professional dancer will swap the ballroom for the sun-kissed island of Sicily – where Giovanni hails from – for ‘Anton and Giovanni: Adventures in Sicily’.
Anton, 56, said: “When I first heard about this trip it was pretty irresistible. What’s not to love? It’s all my favourite things, great food, great country and spending time in the sunshine with Giovanni. Marvellous!”
Giovanni “cannot wait” for viewers to see him show Anton around the Mediterranean’s largest island.
He added: “To say this has been a dream project is an understatement!
“Taking Anton to my much-loved home of Sicily was simply Bellissima!
“We danced, we laughed, and had the time of our lives – with great culture, food and company.
“I cannot wait for viewers in the UK to come on this journey with us. See you in the Sicilian sun! Ciao.”
The three-part series will see Giovanni be Anton’s guide as the pair discover what the island has to offer, from Mount Etna, to authentic old towns, and they will sample the local cuisine.
Mel Balac, Creative Director at BBC Studios, added: “Viewers will get to see Anton and Gio in a completely different light as we follow them on their road trip across Sicily.
“Alongside seeing the boys enjoy and experience everything that Sicily has to offer, viewers will also see their amazing friendship grow as they learn new things about one another … including some things that they would probably rather not let anyone know!”
