“I’m very competitive. So let’s bring on the next challenge.”
Giovanni has been on Strictly since 2015.
Last year, he won the show for the first time with EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis.
The pair made a huge impact, especially with their stunning silent dance routine.
Giovanni and Rose danced to Clean Bandit’s Symphony and performed part of the routine in silence.
It paid tribute to the deaf community and the moment won a BAFTA on Sunday.
Giovanni and Rose accepted the Virgin Media’s Must-See Moment award at Sunday’s ceremony.
