BBC One - Anton & Giovanni’s Adventures in Sicily, Series 1, Episode 2

The second leg of Anton and Giovanni's trip takes them to Mount Etna.

The second leg of Anton and Giovanni's trip takes them to Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, where they are joined by 2021 Strictly champion Rose Ayling-Ellis.

The second leg of Anton and Giovanni's trip around Sicily takes them to Mount Etna, Europe’s highest and most active volcano. Along the way, Giovanni takes Anton to a traditional Sicilian barber shop to get him groomed and beach ready before they both try their hand at paddleboarding in the Ionian Sea.

Mount Etna stands over 10,000 feet high and is the must-see on any tour of Sicily. Anton and Giovanni hike halfway towards the summit with a little help from some unexpected furry friends before opting to camp out overnight. Two then become three as 2021 Strictly champion Rose Ayling-Ellis joins them to complete their trek in style by taking to the skies and flying over the crater of Etna in a helicopter. Keeping the adrenalin flowing, and taking sightseeing to extreme lengths, they next embark on a daring zip wire ride before checking in at a fabulously opulent country villa for a well-earned rest.
