STRICTLY Come Dancing pros have slashed tickets to one of their upcoming shows after failing to sell out.
The performance, scheduled at New Theatre Oxford tomorrow (Tuesday 17th June), will see two faces join forces as part of their joint tour.
Giovanni Pernice, who famously left Strictly after Amanda Abbington triggered a probe into his backstage behaviour, has teamed up with Anton Du Beke for a tour they've named 'Together Again'.
However, tickets have now been slashed to 50% off via the Show Film First in order to fill seats, with £43 tickets now going for £20.91.
At their most expensive, tickets were going for £143 each, but now available for just £53.
The entire balcony has also been closed off in order to bring ticketholders down to lower (and typically pricier) seats.
The Together Again tour will continue across the UK through to the end of July.
Giovanni and Anton have been longtime collaborators, with their travel show being axed in the wake of the Giovanni scandal, despite earning a Bafta nomination.
Giovanni has since been cleared of all but six allegations made against him by former partners, including Abbington.
Whilst Giovanni was cleared of being physically abusive to Amanda Abbington, he stressed that it made last year 'a dark year'.
He said previously: “I’m not going to lie, there were dark moments in terms of, you know, this is finished, this is the end of my career.
"That was one of my down moments. Sorry for my language but 2024 can f**k off," he added. "I’ve been looking forward to seeing the back of it.”
Despite the Sicilian dancer sharing his hopes to rejoin the series, The Sun recently revealed that Simone Arena is set to replace him.
The hunky Italian, 33, is the boyfriend of Michelle Tsiakkas, 29, who is also on the show, will join in the Autumn as one of two new pros.
But all is not lost for Gio, who managed to bag over £1million in the last financial year – his most lucrative to date – via other television appearances, dance workshops, and moving to the Italian version of Strictly, Ballando con le Stelle.
