“I think it’s like that on your face when you do Strictly, so if it’s a good dance it’s a good dance, but if it’s bad it’s bad, sorry man,” the dancer joked.



Giovanni Pernice revealed that he would be happy to become a judge after leaving his career as a dancer.

He added: “It’s something I’d like to do in the future, judging in general.”

“I think you would be very good,” Lorraine interjected.

The breakfast host, 62, also spoke to the dancer about her association with EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, wondering how she could get over it this year.

Rose and Giovani captured the hearts of the nation at last year’s Strictly and were crowned champions in their 19th series.

The pair won a BAFTA TV Must-See Moment award for their charming mute dance on Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson’s Symphony song.

However, Giovanni insisted that he “doesn’t like to compare” and will definitely not compare his partner this year with Rose.

Moving on to other potential career moves for Giovanni, Lorraine planted the seed that the dancer would become the next James Bond.

“To be a dancer, you have to know how to act because you have to tell a story, I thought to myself, is it time for an Italian James Bond?” she asked curiously.

Giovanni replied: “Acting is definitely something I love, but James Bond is a big deal … I wouldn’t say no.”

“I don’t think you should say no to anything,” Lorraine agreed.
