Giovanni Pernice has officially made his return \u2014 and fans couldn\u2019t be happier.<\/p>\n

The former\u00a0Strictly Come Dancing<\/em>\u00a0star sent supporters into celebration mode after breaking his social media silence with a bold, confident message that simply read:<\/p>\n

After a challenging year away from the spotlight, the message felt more than casual \u2014 it felt defiant, hopeful, and full of purpose. And fans were quick to respond.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a while since we saw you!\u201d one follower wrote.
\u201cGood to see you back,\u201d said another.
Others added heartfelt messages like, \u201cWe\u2019ve missed you,\u201d and \u201cGreat to see you back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giovanni, who was long considered one of\u00a0Strictly\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0most beloved professionals, has hardly been standing still despite stepping back from the BBC show. After returning to touring earlier this year, he wrapped up a successful run in May before heading straight back on the road \u2014 this time alongside close friend and<\/p>\n

Strictly<\/em>\u00a0judge Anton Du Beke.<\/p>\n

He also returned to his roots in Italy, taking his place once again as a professional dancer on\u00a0Ballando con le Stelle<\/em>, the Italian version of<\/p>\n

Strictly Come Dancing<\/em>. The move marked a powerful continuation of his career, reminding fans of his enduring passion for dance and performance.<\/p>\n

The timing of Giovanni\u2019s social media comeback feels especially meaningful. After remaining inactive on X (formerly Twitter) for over a year, his return signals a renewed sense of confidence \u2014 and perhaps a fresh chapter ahead.<\/p>\n

The dancer recently celebrated another personal milestone as well, turning 35 in September. Marking the occasion with a relaxed photo taken on a boat, Giovanni captioned the moment simply:\u00a0\u201cLevel up\u2026 35 today.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Messages of love poured in from across the\u00a0Strictly<\/em>\u00a0family. Head judge Shirley Ballas wrote, \u201cA very, very happy birthday to you. Enjoy every minute \u2014 see you soon.\u201d Anton Du Beke joked, \u201cFinally the same age as me! Happy birthday my love.\u201d Fellow pro Kai Widdrington called him \u201cfra\u201d \u2014 Italian slang for brother \u2014 while Gemma Atkinson, John Terry, and former dance partner Michelle Visage all joined in with warm wishes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For fans, Giovanni\u2019s return feels symbolic \u2014 not just a social media update, but a statement of resilience. After a year of change, challenge, and reflection, his message was simple but powerful.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s back.
And judging by the reaction, he was deeply missed.<\/p>\n
