More info Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice was put on pause after a shout from the crowd while on stage in Liverpool. The dance pro was joined by Anton Du Beke on stage as their new show, Together, hit the Floral Pavilion in Merseyside on Thursday evening. The duo awed the full house with a night packed with dazzling dance steps.
Breaking up the dance performances were chat skits that showcased the pair's chemistry, which bagged them a BBC travel show of their own. The dancers had the audience in stitches with comedy bits centred around Giovanni's strong Italian accent, reports the Liverpool Echo . Balancing the show to suit each city on the tour could be challenging, but these two toe-tapping gents did top-notch work bringing a Liverpool flavour to it.
