Ranvir Singh feud mystery as she 'unfollows' Giovanni Pernice on Instagram

Good Morning Britain's Ranvir Singh sparked rumours she might be feuding with her former Strictly dance partner Giovanni Pernice after she unfollowed him on Instagram.

Later on, the TV presenter seemed to have a change of heart as she then refollowed him on the platform.

There has been confusion on whether the two are good terms considering Ranvir wasn't spotted supporting the Italian dancer on social media during his routines with new partner Rose Ayling-Ellis.

According to The Sun, insiders close to the two claim that there's "no bad blood" and they have remained close friends since the last series ended.

Her reps denied the presenter unfollowed Giovanni.

They said: "There is absolutely no truth in this story. Ranvir has not unfollowed Giovanni on Instagram. They enjoyed their Strictly experience of 2020 immensely, and remain friends."

Ranvir and the professional dancer were partnered on last year's Strictly Come Dancing.

However, the two got eliminated in the seventh round despite great chemistry.

During Ranvir's stint on the show, the duo's chemistry was noticed by fans so much that Giovanni had to set the record straight.

After filming ended, the 31-year-old said there was "absolutely no way" he'd date Ranvir

He explained: "No, no, no no no. I’m single, absolutely there’s no way [I would date Ranvir]. We are very very good friends."

Giovanni was most recently dating Love Island star Maura Higgins until recently.

It was reported that Giovanni dumped the bombshell because he didn’t want to “settle down”.

The professional dancer is said to have split with the Love Island star two weeks ago leaving her “utterly heartbroken”.

Model and TV presenter Maura has since deleted all traces of their relationship on her social media channels and reportedly told pals she “has to move on”.

The pair had only gone Instagram official with their romance in July this year following weeks of secret dates.

Giovanni’s work commitments have also been blamed for the break-up, which is said to have come as a shock for Maura.

It came just as the lovebirds were all set to move in with one another later this month.

A source told The Sun : “Maura didn’t see this coming and is finding it very difficult to come to terms with. She genuinely thought Gio was the one.”
