Professional dancer Giovanni Pernice has backed Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin following their Strictly Come Dancing departure at the weekend
Giovanni Pernice has slammed the decision to give Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin their marching orders from Strictly Come Dancing at the weekend.
The reigning champion of the show criticised their exit, calling it “too early” as he made a very public condemnation of the outcome.
Giovanni, who stunned viewers with a number of beautiful performances with Rose Ayling-Ellis last year prior to lifting the Glitterball trophy, was knocked out of this year’s contest alongside partner Richie Anderson.
However, despite his own early exit, he’s reacted to fellow professional dancer Nikita’s latest Instagram post.
