Strictly Come Dancing said goodbye to Michelle Visage and Giovanni Pernice on Sunday night after they were eliminated from the competition following a dance off against Saffron Barker and AJ Pritchard. This morning she joined Lorraine Kelly on her ITV chat show and spoke about what she plans on doing next now that her dancing journey has come to an end and whether or not she intending on keeping up the dancing.
Keen to discuss her partnership with Giovanni, Lorraine remarked: “You and Gio, two strong people, mutual respect and you do get on!
“It’s this thing of they want you to be fighting, you can’t just get on.”
“We have such an incredible relationship and this whole thing has been so much richer because of my partnership with Giovanni, I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else, I wanted him, I prayed to whoever is looking out for me,” Michelle replied.
“He’s the partner of my dreams and we’re going to continue dancing.”

“Are you going to continue dancing?” Lorraine reiterated.
“Absolutely, I called him yesterday, he’s busy doing the pro’s stuff but any hours that he has – absolutely,” the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK judge said.
“Because you’ve got to this level you don’t want it to go,” Lorraine added.
The host then moved onto discussing the Strictly Come Dancing 2020 tour and said: “It’s a real shame you’re not doing the tour, is it just dates didn’t work out?”
“After everything settled and we were watching back the results show, and I started to see the emails come in from people who said they felt represented and heard, it felt like I knew I did the right thing,” she replied.
It comes after Michelle spoke out about the criticism she has received since taking part in this year’s series of Strictly.
Some viewers claimed her routine on Saturday night lacked enough dance moves and instead suggested she was “just strutting”.
Elsewhere in Saturday night’s show, BBC One viewers were left confused when Motsi Mabuse disappeared off camera.
