Meanwhile, Maura has been supporting Italian dancer Giovanni throughout his stint on this year’s Strictly.

Giovanni dances with EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis.

Maura previously said on her Instagram Stories ahead of Giovanni and Rose’s first dance: “The very best of luck to you both tonight. I know you will absolutely smash it.”

Last month, Katie McGlynn – who was previously linked romantically to Giovanni – reassured Maura ahead of the series starting.

Katie told The Sun: “Giovanni is a really nice guy but I don’t really know him. We’re on perfectly good terms but Maura has nothing to worry about.

“I would never get involved with anyone that had a girlfriend. If someone has a partner, they are completely off-limits.”

In addition, she said: “I never want to be that person. The amount of heartache the other person would be going through — it’s just really not nice and I’m not about that.”
