Ashely Roberts looks to have confirmed her romance with Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice.
The couple were rumoured to have grown close after meeting on the show last year but insisted they were friends.
However, pictures have since emerged of the duo kissing in the street, ahead of the ballroom show’s annual live tour.
The pair appear to be in good spirits as they joke around with a Nandos takeaway bag in-hand.
Other images show the couple cosied up as Pernice nuzzles his face in the former Pussycat Doll’s neck while another shows the dancing duo locking lips.
Standard Online has contacted representatives of Roberts and Pernice for comment.
“She is beautiful, absolutely, but there is no chance that we're going to be in a relationship right now,” he told New!.
“Never say never but I’m not thinking about being in a relationship with anybody. I fancy everybody. I’m not in a relationship with Ashley at all at the moment.”
Roberts had previously quashed talk of romance during an appearance on This Morning, shortly after reports claimed they were “dating”.
After a grilling from Phillip Schofield she said: “I’m really focused on the show. I’m passionate about getting better. It’s all about the dancefloor for me. We’re just friends and I’m single."
The couple were also hit with rumours they shared a kiss at the show’s wrap party.
