Since then, they’ve kept their relationship relatively away from the public eye.

Giovanni and Jessica’s romance may seem as if it came out of the blue, but the pair were linked towards the end of last year.

The Sun reported in December that the couple had been dating in secret for a month after being introduced by Jessica’s brother Mark, a past Strictly contestant.

A source said at the time: “They’ve been on a few dates, but it’s early days. They met through her brother Mark’s Strictly connections from when he was on the show and they’re getting to know each other.”

Giovanni and Jessica’s romance confirmation came just hours after Giovanni’s fellow pro dancer, Gorka Marquez, confirmed a long-suspected romance with last year’s Strictly contestant Gemma Atkinson.
