Giovanni Pernice, 34, has revealed that over the last five weeks he has embarked on a complete body overhaul.
Taking to Instagram he shared before and after pictures which showed off the six pack he has built up in that time.
Gio’s pecs are also clearly more defined, as well as his biceps.
He simply wrote next to the impressive pics: “5 week in…”
Fans rush to compliment him on his muscly frame, with one saying: “Strength and determination! Good job my love!!”
Another added: “Well done you – hard work and consistency pays off, and the mindset of a champ!”
This one said: “Well done Giovanni hard work pays off. Looking great.”
LIFE AFTER STRICTLY
Giovanni is keen to move on with his life after being embroiled in a Strictly controversy that led to him quitting the show.
He stepped down from the programme last spring while the corporation probed claims of bad behaviour behind-the-scenes made by Sherlock actress Amanda Abbington, 52.
During that time the BBC released its report into 17 claims made by Amanda.

Six were upheld and they related to verbal bullying and harassment, but the most serious allegations of physical aggression were not upheld.
After the report was released, Giovanni revealed he had been through a “dark year”.
He said previously: “I’m not going to lie, there were dark moments in terms of, you know, this is finished, this is the end of my career.
“That was one of my down moments. Sorry for my language but 2024 can f**k off. I’ve been looking forward to seeing the back of it.”
Gio is now trying to move away from the scandal, and has continued to perform.
He had his own stage show earlier this year, and also wowed on the Italian version of Strictly, Ballando con le Stelle.
In fact, he won the show, with his celebrity partner Bianca Guaccero.
MONEY MAN
Meanwhile, The Sun revealed earlier this year how Giovanni is STILL one of Strictly’s biggest earners, despite not being on the show anymore.
His bank balance has been boosted thanks to his stage shows and other side ventures.
The account figures, which were released in April for GP Entertainment Ltd, show Gio made £1.12m, up from £809,000 last year.
His earnings have almost quadrupled over the past four years. In 2021 he earned £284,000.
