Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice has announced his first ever tour of the UK and he will be visiting two theatres in Norfolk and Waveney.

Sicily-born Mr Pernice said: 'I am so excited to announce my very first tour.
'Dancing is my life so it made perfect sense to call the show Dance Is Life.'
Mr Pernice, a previous winner of the Italian Championships dance competition, will be performing with Luba Mushtuk, a choreographer and troupe dancer on Strictly.
