Confirming his new role on Instagram today, Gio revealed that he and Lauren Oakley would be performing together at live events around the country.
Titled Dancing with the Stars weekends, many Strictly stars perform with one another in order to teach and coach members of the public how to dance.
Gio has been involved in the special events before but this will mark his first UK-based role since the probe into his conduct with previous celeb partner, Amanda Abbington.
Confirming his role online, Giovanni wrote: “I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the amazing team at @donaheys for some fabulous Dancing with the Stars Weekends this year!
“And to make it even better – I’ll be partnered with the fabulous @laurenmayoakley
“We can’t wait to hit the dance floor with all of you, whether you’re stepping into your first dance class or already a seasoned dancer – come join us for an unforgettable weekend of fun and some serious dancing!
“It’s always such an incredible experience – we get to dance, teach, and perform for you! Let’s bring the passion, the energy, and of course, the fun!”
His new dancing role comes after he admitted he was keen to expand into other areas – including singing and acting.
In an interview with the Sunday Mirror, he explained the potential new career move as he revealed he wants to try out acting and singing – making him a triple threat alongside his dancing skills.
He said: “That’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but obviously English is not my first language, so we have to see.

“I need to go to English school first of all to learn English properly.”
He added: “And I like to sing too, so maybe some singing lesson to improve my singing.”
The new career direction comes after 2024 was a hard year for Giovanni, which saw him dropped from Strictly amid an investigation after Amanda accused Giovanni of bullying her, leading to her early exit from the 2023 series.
Giovanni denied all allegations, with the investigation by the BBC seeing them uphold six of the 17 complaints against him.
Whilst Giovanni was cleared of being physically abusive to the Sherlock actress, he stresses that it made last year ‘a dark year’.
