Sicily but this time round, Anton will showcase the place he fell in love with as a child.<\/p>\n<p>Spending time in Spain throughout his childhood for holidays with his Spanish family, Anton will be showing Giovanni just what the country has to offer and the itinerary will surely be packed full of dancing, eating and sightseeing.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the new series, Du Beke says: \u201cMy loves, it is such a treat for me to be able to take my dear friend Giovanni to a country that I hold so close to my heart. What a joy it is to be able to share this marvellously jovial jaunt with both Gio and all the wonderful viewers watching at home. Magnifico!\u201d<\/p> <p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Pernice also commented: \u201cI am so excited to be heading out for more adventures with my best friend Anton on this epic road trip across Spain, I just hope we manage to avoid being stopped by the police this time!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The new three-part series is set to air next year on BBC One and iPlayer but their first series, Anton and Giovanni\u2019s Adventures in Sicily, quickly became a popular hit among viewers with an average audience of 3.1 million when it premiered earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>So, it\u2019s safe to say that fans have been loving the duo and their travel adventures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Kalpna Patel-Knight, head of entertainment commissioning at the BBC, said of the new series: \u201cOur dancing duo are hitting the road once again and with Anton having a genuine love of the country that he wants to showcase to Giovanni, Spain is the perfect place for the boys to explore on their next adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a
