Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice, two of Strictly Come Dancing's most beloved stars, are set to hit the stage together in just a month for their highly anticipated tour.The dynamic duo will be showcasing their dance prowess in their live show, Anton and Giovanni, away from the Strictly spotlight.

However, there have been whispers of uncertainty surrounding the tour following some backlash related to complaints about Giovanni's alleged conduct on Strictly.

It's been suggested that a number of grievances were lodged, leading the BBC to initiate its own investigation. Despite his future on Strictly being up in the air as the BBC has yet to announce its professional line-up for 2024, Giovanni has already revealed plans for a break next year following another round of touring and he's still very much involved in other projects.

A source said that his show with Anton is definitely going ahead, even after what they described as a "really difficult time" for Giovanni.The insider shared: "Gio has not been found guilty of anything, though he is the subject of much speculation.The back together tour will go ahead, and he and Anton will be standing up on stage together as they have done for many tours." Anton and Giovanni have been firm friends for years, even landing their own TV show where they explore Sicily and Spain.
