Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice mocks judges Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli over their cosmetic work and dye jobs

STRICTLY star Giovanni Pernice has mocked the cosmetic work and dye jobs of show judges Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli.

The pro dancer, 28, insisted that more mature men should “grow old naturally” and only women should go under the knife.

His comments are bound to irk Botox devotee Craig, 54, who has also had a nose job, and Italian Bruno, 63, who dyes his grey hair black.

Heart-throb Giovanni said: “When you start to get older, it’s good to grow old naturally.

“I understand why women want to do it. I get that they will want to put a bit of Botox in. It makes sense for the ladies, but for me, as an Italian boy, it’s different.

“I prefer for men especially to let it go naturally. Everybody has to get old. I don’t need to dye my hair. My dad is a good looking guy. He’s almost 60 and has grey hair.”

Giovanni, who has just had Invisalign tooth straightening treatment at Lotus Dental in North London, added: “I decided to get the brace as I’m a perfectionist. I was gorgeous before . . .  really gorgeous now.”

Giovanni, who made last year’s final with Steps singer Faye Tozer, 43, also opened up about his relationship with ex-Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, 37, who also made the final with Pasha Kovalev, 39.

He said: “It’s going amazing. I’m hoping to take her home to Italy to meet my parents soon, and I’ll go to America to meet her family. We’ll be living in England together hopefully. We’re happy.”
