Do you know who Federica Pellegrini is dancing with now? The Rai statement arrived practically at the same time as the exclusion of Angelo Madonia who up until now had danced with the former swimming champion: «We are happy to announce the return of Samuel Peron, one of the most beloved masters in the history of Dancing with the Stars. Starting from the next episode, Samuel will be alongside Federica Pellegrini, bringing his experience and enthusiasm to the competition. It is a joy to have Samuel back in the big family of Dancing, certain that his talent will contribute to making this edition even more special».

The first images of the new couple seem to show a good understanding. They were shown by La Vita in diretta which also interviewed Milly Carlucci on the Madonia case, boyfriend of Sonia Bruganelli, another competitor on the programme. For the first time a dancer was excluded during the program. The presenter said that “it had reached a point where it was no longer possible to work”.

Samuel Peron joins Federica Pellegrini in the last remaining episodes before the final on Saturday 21 December. It won’t be easy to create the chemistry needed to dance as a couple in less than a month. In the last few episodes we have seen an improvement in the former swimmer who will certainly want to maintain the level achieved while changing partners.

Who is Samuel Peron, who now accompanies Federica Pellegrini

The dancer born in Marostica in 1982 is one of the best-known figures of the program. He has participated continuously since the second edition of 2005, winning the fourth edition paired with the actress Maria Elena Vandone and coming second last year with Simona Ventura and fourth in 2022 with Iva Zanicchi. He also danced with Sabrina Salerno, Martina Stella, Eleonora Giorgi and Valentina Vezzali. His desire to return was evident on social media: «How did that Vasco song say? I AM STILL HERE. Home is always home @ballandoconlestelle. Are you ready, @kikkafede88? I still have to get over the emotion… give me 5 minutes!

Peron began dancing at just four years old. His experience ranges from ballroom dancing to Latin American, from funky to contemporary and modern dance. With a diploma in design and a degree in Sports Science, his television debut dates back to 1991 when he was not yet ten years old. He has participated in theatrical musicals and reality shows, most recently The Island of the Famous last year. He created his own dance academy in the province of Messina. In 2022 he became the father of Leonardo with the actress and model Tania Bambaci, to whom he has been linked since 2013.
