Giovanni Pernice's ex Jowita Przystal moves on as she looks cosy with another Strictly star

Jowita Przystal was pictured looking very cosy with Strictly Come Dancing choreographer Arduino Bertoncello as the pair headed to a London studio ahead of the Strictly Professionals Tour.

The Ballroom and Latin star, who lifted the Glitterball Trophy with Hamza Yassin in December, was rumoured to be dating her co-star Giovanni Pernice before they reportedly called time on their romance due to "hectic work schedules".

As Jowita and Arduino made their way to rehearsals wearing matching sunglasses, the Strictly champion gazed into the choreographer's eyes.

She wore a black leather jacket, black mini dress, black leggings and grey trainers while he sported a grey sweatshirt and black joggers, teamed with white socks and trainers.

Arduino kept his arm around Jowita as the pair hopped off the bus and walked into the rehearsal studio while not being able to keep their eyes off each other.

Mirror has contacted a representative of Jowita for comment.

Strictly Come Dancing - The Professionals will begin at the Hull Bonus Arena on May 2 and finish up at the York Barbican on May 31.

Jowita and Giovanni reportedly split in January after it was revealed the pair had been "secretly dating" for weeks.

"Giovanni and Jowita enjoyed a number of dates after the last series of Strictly and they got on really well," a source close to the former couple has claimed.

"But as time has passed they have found it increasingly difficult to build on their relationship because of their hectic work schedules."

The source told The Sun, Giovanni and Jowita struggled to find time for each other as the professional dancers both head off on different tours across the UK.

Giovanni and Jowita were spotted leaving the Italian dancer's home in Notting Hill together and had been snapped holding hands.

The Strictly champion, who lifted the Glitterball Trophy with Rose Ayling-Ellis in 2021, has dated a host of famous stars including Maura Higgins, Ashley Roberts, Georgia May Foote and Jess Wright.

Meanwhile, Jowita was previously in a relationship with pro dancer Michael Danilczuk.
