Strictly Come Dancing stars Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice are to travel around Sicily together for a new BBC travelogue show.
Called Anton and Giovanni: Adventures in Sicily, the three-part series will see Pernice give Du Beke a tour around his home island, taking in sights such as Mount Etna and Sicily's many authentic old towns.
"When I first heard about this trip it was pretty irresistible," said Du Beke. "What's not to love? It's all my favourite things, great food, great country and spending time in the sunshine with Giovanni. Marvellous!"
Pernice added: "To say this has been a dream project is an understatement! Taking Anton to my much-loved home of Sicily was simply Bellissima!
"We danced, we laughed, and had the time of our lives - with great culture, food and company. I cannot wait for viewers in the UK to come on this journey with us. See you in the Sicilian sun! Ciao!"
Anton and Giovanni: Adventures in Sicily will air on BBC One in 2023.
