Strictly Champion Giovanni Pernice and chicken orzo

Dish - A podcast by S:E Creative Studio - Wednesdays

Giovanni Pernice glides into the Dish kitchen for a meal with Nick and Angela. The dancer and choreographer has been a professional on Strictly for seven years and took home the title and trophy with his partner Rose Ayling-Ellis in 2021. Fun fact: Giovanni holds the Guinness World Record for jive, kicks and flicks! He is currently on tour with his TV dad / big brother Anton Du Beke. Born in Italy in 1990, he celebrates Arancini Day (13th December) every year and proudly professes to making a mean cup of tea – which he only learnt how to do last year! Angela prepares a trio of carbs, whilst Nick lightens the load with an apple and elderflower spritz. Giovanni talks Sicily, Strictly, sign language and scarpetta. Just so you know, our podcast might contain the occasional mild swear word or adult theme.
