Anton and Giovanni's Epic Spanish Road Trip Ends on an Emotional Note

Strictly Stars Embark on a Journey to Anton's Mother's Village

Anton Du Beke and Giovanni Pernice's epic road trip across Anton's motherland has come to a poignant end as they reached Anton's mother's village. The Strictly Come Dancing duo shared the emotional moment on social media, as Anton returned to the small village in Galicia, north-west Spain, for the first time in 40 years.

Anton's mother, Ascension, passed away last year, and Anton has spoken openly about how much she meant to him. He has fond memories of visiting the village with his mother, and it was an emotional experience to return without her.

The trip was filmed for a new documentary, which will air on BBC Two later this year. The documentary will follow Anton and Giovanni as they travel across Spain, exploring Anton's Spanish heritage and meeting the people who have shaped his life.
