“Dancing with a man would challenge me more than anybody because you have to make the choreography suitable for both of us.
“So yes, the BBC knows what they’re doing and if they come to me and say, ‘Giovanni, we would love you to dance with a man’ I will do it.”
Jane asked: “Do you have a particular dream partner in mind?”
Giovanni replied “the Queen”, but Jane told him she meant his dream male partner.

Giovanni said: “I did an interview saying I would dance with Piers Morgan.”
Janet Street-Porter was heard shouting, “Piers Morgan?!” as Jane revealed she received a text from Piers saying he was “ready”.
Jane said: “Funny you should say that because I texted Piers before coming on air to say, ‘Giovanni would like to dance with you.’
Piers to pair up with Giovanni?
“This is what he said… ‘I’m ready, I’ve already done a same-sex sizzle. I did the Paso Doble on the dance floor with Bruno [Tonioli] at my 50th.’
“‘He said I had magnificent moves and I think he called me a stylist stallion too.'”
Jane said: “There you go Giovanni, you’ve got your partner.”
Giovanni replied: “I think it would be interesting to see Piers because he’s a very strong character and I’m a massive fan of his career.
