Giovanni Pernice is hoping so!

Strictly Come Dancing’s Giovanni Pernice wants Theresa May to do the show next year.

The professional dancer – who has worked on the ballroom and Latin series since 2015 – would love to see the British Prime Minister follow in former Labour MP Ed Balls’ footsteps and show off her fancy footwork after she hit the headlines yesterday when she walked out on stage to give a big conference speech while boogying to Abba’s ‘Dancing Queen’.

Speaking on Lorraine on Thursday, the 28-year-old hunk said: “I mean, look at her. She can walk on time. Confident, absolutely. Theresa, I’m here, see you on Strictly!”

However, at the moment, Giovanni is trying to perfect his routines with Steps’ Faye Tozer so that the pair are in with a chance of lifting this year’s famous glitter ball trophy after he got so close to winning last year with his then-partner Debbie McGee.

Faye, 42, explained: “When we first danced together, the first time I danced with you I felt really secure and you swap around and you’re like, ‘Oh I quite like you, and I quite like you.’ ”

Giovanni added: “You know, the thing is you want a good time on the show.

“I got inspired this year. I did something different.”

And, although the show is known for its infamous curse – which sees celebrities leave their spouses in order to strike up a romantic relationship with the ‘Strictly’ partners – Faye is adamant that there’s nothing more than friendship between her and Giovanni.

And, actually, the Italian heartthrob has even developed a “bromance” with her husband Michael Smith and the pair have started attending football matches together.
