Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice dubbed a 'silver fox' as he shows off new look

Strictly Come Dancing fans have voiced their concern for professional dancer Giovanni Pernice after he was snapped showing off his new haircut.

The reigning champion of the BBC show gave fans a peak at his new ‘do on Instagram.

He posed in a grey suit with Converse trainers and debuted his haircut which fans noticed featured a touch of the “silver fox”.

Giovanni captioned the series of pictures: “You’re never fully dressed without a smile.”

Fans flooded the comments with compliments about his new look.

“Do I spy a touch of the silver fox? Very nice! A touch of welcome maturity,” said one.

His Strictly co-star Gorka Marquez commented: “Sexy.”

“Are you becoming a silver fox? Yummmmmyyy,” said another.

His new look comes as Giovanni and his last dance partner Rose Ayling-Ellis have been nominated for a BAFTA following their incredible “silent dance” TV moment.

They stopped in the middle of their couple's choice dance on last year’s show to dance in complete silence to show what it is like to be deaf.

They’ll find out if they have been victorious at the BAFTA Awards on May 8.

The winning pair were reunited this weekend as Rose, 27, made a cameo on Giovanni's Instagram Stories.

Sharing an insight into their friendship, Giovanni recorded Rose getting ready and made a cheeky jibe about her appearance.

The professional dancer, 31, couldn’t help but poke fun at the EastEnders actress as she got her makeup done.

Giovanni could be heard saying: “Lots of makeup for you, because you need it. A lot of makeup.”

A shocked Rose dropped her jaw before quipping back: “You need a lot of makeup!

“People are so surprised but when you get a wet wipe and just wipe Gio, he’s a completely different thing.

“If you look at his feet, that’s what his face is underneath.”

Pleased with her joke, Rose laughed as her makeup artist began to laugh.

Giovanni hit back, defeated: “You’re horrible,” to which Rose returned: “You’re horrible!”

Their tiff continued back and forth before Rose playfully punched Giovanni.

Rose delighted her fans by reposting the moment with her 547,000 Instagram followers, with the caption: “Reunion with this idiot.”
