Giovanni and Anton are good friends off screen, and have presented the BBC travel shows Anton & Giovanni's Adventures in Sicily and Anton & Giovanni's Adventures in Spain together.
While Anton was on the show to talk about his love of golf and the new golfing podcast he is hosting with Sky Sports TV presenter Sarah Stirk, Richard Madeley also asked the professional dancer about his former Strictly colleague.
Anton then briefly chatted about his pal Giovanni Pernice, who did not appear as a dancer on Strictly at the end of last year following accusations about his behaviour during previous series.
Strictly Come Dancing judge and professional dancer Anton was speaking to Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid on Monday's edition of Good Morning Britain about his new golf podcast.
"I've got a slightly tricky question for you," Richard said, adding, "It's been reported that you personally would welcome Giovanni Pernice back onto Strictly.
