A professional dancer, known for his years on Strictly Come Dancing, met fans in Market Harborough at a special book signing.
People started queuing outside Waterstones from 9am on Friday morning (September 4) to make sure they had the chance to meet Giovanni Pernice.
The 35-year-old was in the town as part of tour of bookshops across the country to publicise his new autobiography 'Gio: Taking the Lead'.
The dancer posed for photos with fans, signed copies of the book and spoke Italian with guests.
Sue Coxall and Barbara Haigh were beaming, after they exited the shop, having met Giovanni.
They have “been fans for years” and had seen him on tour.
Sue said: “He’s lovely, you always worry about meeting someone like that.”
Barbara explained: “He was very friendly and approachable. He was very personal, and took time with people.”
When asked how his hug was, Sue said: “Not long enough.”
