Giovanni Pernice and Anton du Beke: A Dynamic Comeback with the "Together Again" Tour
In an exciting announcement that has thrilled fans of dance and entertainment, Giovanni Pernice has revealed plans for a major comeback in 2025 with a new tour alongside his close friend and fellow dancer, Anton du Beke. Titled Together Again, this tour promises to be a spectacular showcase of talent, creativity, and camaraderie, set to surpass the success of their previous run in 2024.
A New Chapter in Dance
The Together Again tour is set to kick off on June 12, 2025, at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon, marking the beginning of a 35-date journey across the UK and Ireland. The tour will culminate on July 30, 2025, at the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend, Essex. Fans can expect all-new material that highlights the duo’s exceptional chemistry and dance prowess, ensuring a fresh and exhilarating experience for audiences.
This announcement comes at a time when there was speculation surrounding Pernice’s future in the UK, particularly following his recent involvement with the Italian dance show Ballando con le Stelle. Many wondered if he might be leaving the UK permanently, but his commitment to the Together Again tour signals his intention to continue captivating audiences on British soil.
Navigating Controversy
The recent announcement follows a BBC investigation into Giovanni’s conduct during his time on Strictly Come Dancing with partner Amanda Abbington. While the investigation cleared him of the most serious allegations of physical aggression, it did uphold some of Abbington’s complaints. In response to the findings, Pernice expressed relief, stating, "Today I’m happy because at the beginning there were very very serious allegations thrown out at me but as of today, none of the serious allegations have been upheld."
Amanda Abbington, in turn, described the BBC’s apology as a vindication of her complaint, highlighting the complexities of their professional relationship. Despite the controversy, Pernice remains focused on his career and the upcoming tour, demonstrating resilience in the face of challenges.
Support from a Best Friend
Anton du Beke, a beloved judge on Strictly Come Dancing and a long-time friend of Pernice, has shown unwavering support throughout this tumultuous period. Expressing his excitement for the Together Again tour, Anton emphasized the importance of celebrating the positive experiences of contestants, despite the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Giovanni. "I’d like to see him back of course," he stated, reinforcing their strong bond and shared passion for dance.
Pernice has often referred to du Beke as his "best friend," and their camaraderie is evident in their interactions. The duo’s relationship not only enhances their performances but also resonates with fans who appreciate their genuine friendship.
A Flourishing Career
Giovanni Pernice’s career continues to flourish despite recent challenges. His participation in Ballando con le Stelle marks a significant return to his roots in Italian television, showcasing his versatility as a dancer and entertainer. However, this move has not deterred his commitment to his UK engagements, including the highly anticipated Together Again tour.
Pernice’s enthusiasm for the upcoming projects is palpable. He took to Instagram to announce the tour, exclaiming, "We are back!" and sharing his excitement about performing alongside Anton. This positive energy is infectious, and fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to witness their dynamic performances live.
