Strictly's Giovanni Pernice worries fans with 'dream come true' news after being supported by co-stars after absence

Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has concerned fans he's set to ditch the UK despite signing up to another series of the hit BBC One dance show as he teased 'dream come true' news.

The dancer, who has spent several years taking part in the BBC One dance contest and is set to return with his fellow pros this autumn, took to social media to reveal yet another project away from the ballroom. However, he didn't mind leaving fans guessing as to exactly what it is.

Sharing a picture of him appearing serious as he looked over some paperwork, Giovanni teased a "dream" project was about to come to life as he was seen perched in front of his laptop at a desk beside some golden curtains and sporting a Gucci t-shirt with his sunglasses resting on his forehead.

He wrote: "Can’t wait to share with you all what I have been up to. One of my dream projects finally is coming to life! Let’s play the game .. can you guess what it is?" Confirming he was in Dubai, he added: "Thank u @jumeirahzs for having me and of course thank you to @trendingtravel for organising this exciting and fun trip!"

But the message appeared to worry some as @val.wickens said: "Hope you are not moving to Dubai." @ellie_bioletti_x_ replied: "Don't say you're moving to dubai." @kais_nadiya commented: "Gio whatever happens do not leave strictly please and thank you." @ali.fryer.7 added: "Hope whatever it is we don’t lose you from strictly just yet."

Others, however, were soon sharing their guesses as to what the news could be and also showed their support. @pollyjbird said:" My guess - launching your own cologne/ aftershave/ toiletries range? Whatever it is, wishing you all success!" @greenelephantvintage joked: "Signing the law banning pineapple on pizza in Dubai? Can’t wait to hear what it really is!"

@margaretstevenson32 commented: "Whatever it is, it is obviously very exciting for. Your success has been phenomenal. It's so well deserved. Please don't keep us in suspense too long." @wendywoo_1409 added "Whatever it is you will be amazing as always. Please share soon."

It comes after Giovanni declared he was 'back' and reunited with a very special guest on Monday evening to make an exciting announcement. In a video, the 32-year-old said to the camera: "Hello everyone… As you might know, I've been away for a long time. I'm back now in London and the first person I'm seeing is my other half, [who] is next to me right now."

After introducing his fellow Strictly co-star, Anton Du Beke, Giovanni went on to say: "Oh gosh, I've missed you… And we've been working for some exciting news," before Anton chimed in: "Some very exciting news… We have been nominated for an NTA for our show Adventures in Sicily."

And the pair quickly got the support of their Strictly co-stars as Gorka Marquez said: "Lets go!!! @giovannipernice @mrantondubeke." Katya Jones replied: "Go on lads!!!!!" while Nikita Kuzmin posted a string of applauding emojis.
