Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice looks set to take his romance with Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, 37, to the next level.
The pair might have kept their romance under wraps during the last series of Strictly Come Dancing, but their relationship is now very much public.

What’s more Giovanni, 28, has said they expect to be shacking up very soon.
In a conversation with The Sun, he said: “I’m hoping to take her home to Italy to meet my parents soon, and I’ll go to America to meet her family.
“We’ll be living in England together hopefully. We’re happy.”
Moving in together would make sense, as it was only last month the ballroom dancer dropped the ‘L’ word for the first time, at least publicly.
Ashley, 37, posted a selfie of them for her 409k Instagram followers, as the pair marked the opening night of Giovanni’s Dance Is Life tour.

In response, the Italian commented on the pic: “Loved to have you there at the first show. Front row, baby!!! Love you!!!”
Strictly is known to put strain on the contestants’ relationships as celebrities grow close to their professional dancing partners – so much so that there’s rumoured to be a curse.
But Giovanni’s made it known that he thinks the idea is ludicrous.
Speaking to Weekend magazine in November, the star said he doesn’t believe an affair between a celeb and their pro partner is inevitable if they’re already “in a strong relationship”, adding: “The rumba, the Argentine tango, they require you to put across physical attraction. But it doesn’t have to spill over to real life.”
Opening up to the publication about his new romance with Ashley, Giovanni revealed he enjoyed spending time with her on the Strictly tour as there was “less pressure” than on TV.

He explained: “It’s a very new relationship. We’re getting to know each other outside Strictly. That was good because there’s less pressure than on TV.”
It’s been a month since they made their first public appearance as an official couple.
The two were seen sat together in the audience of Dancing On Ice, where they were supporting Ashley’s fellow Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton.
