“Excellent news you and him are the best,” remarked another.

“I’m so excited you are both back,” commented a fifth.

Another exclaimed: “Delighted to see this!”

BBC inquiry

It comes after the fallout from the BBC probe of Giovanni’s alleged treatment of Amanda Abbington while performing together on Strictly.

The BBC’s probe cleared him of most of the allegations and the star is reportedly eager to discuss a Strictly comeback.

According to The Mirror, Giovanni has told those close to him that he hopes to return to the show next year.

A source claimed: “Giovanni has not given up on appearing on the Strictly stage. As far as he is concerned, he has been cleared. There is no reason why he couldn’t return.”
