Are Giovanni Pernice and Jowita Przystał dating?

Giovanni and Jowita haven’t yet addressed the claims on social media.

A source had told The Sun: “She and Gio are the worst-kept secret, but make a great couple. While they both kept insisting they were single, the pair’s chemistry was ridiculous — and they kept getting busted snogging in corridors. Crew even saw them kissing in the production office.

“They make a great couple though, and have been pretty inseparable in the last few weeks. Jowita especially, wanted to keep things quiet so she could keep focused with Hamza, and not distract from the competition.”

The insider added: “Giovanni invited Jowita as his date to Jorghino’s birthday bash at Grappelli, an Italian restaurant in Cobham, Surrey. They were flirting and made their relationship very known. It was the talk of the evening.”
