Strictly star Giovanni Pernice ‘dating fellow champion’

Strictly fans watching the final also suspected romance between the pair after their behaviour at the final.
So who is his mystery lady? Well it’s reportedly none other than reigning champion Jowita Przystal!
‘They make a great couple’
According to The Sun they have been inseparable for weeks and were caught kissing backstage
A source claimed: “She and Gio are the worst-kept secret, but make a great couple.”
Tongues have been wagging about the couple for a while, started when they performed a sizzling routine on Strictly back in October.
It’s also been claimed that they shared a lingering hug when Jowita won this year’s show with her celebrity partner Hamza Yassin.
A source claimed: “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.”
