STRICTLY Come Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice has sparked speculation of a feud after it was revealed he’s not following any of the series finalists this series.
Gio, 33, has decided not to keep up with the antics of winner Ellie Leach, Layton Williams or Bobby Brazier.
He only follows 169 people on Instragam and the stars of Strictly 2023 are not amongst them.
The dancer had a rocky road on the show this year after things didn’t go to plan with his celebrity partner Amanda Abbington.

Amanda also decided not to return to take part in the final, meaning Giovanni’s journey came to a very abrupt end.
The Italian dancer had previously won the show with Rosa Ayling-Ellis in 2021.
