Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice is dating a fellow pro dancer from the show who he was spotted kissing backstage, according to reports. Jowita Pryzstal may just have won the BBC show with partner Hamza Yassin, however, it seems she has also won over Giovanni's heart, as reported by The Sun.
Jowita, 28, and her long-term boyfriend split up before the show began. Giovanni, 32, and Jowita went public at Chelsea midfielder Jorghino's birthday dinner in Surrey. A source said that crew members have even caught the pair kissing backstage.
A source told The Sun: "While they both kept insisting they were single, the pair’s chemistry was ridiculous - and they kept getting busted snogging in corridors. Crew even saw them kissing in the production office. They make a great couple though, and have been pretty inseparable in the last few weeks.

"Jowita, especially, wanted to keep things quiet so she could keep focused with Hamza, and not distract from the competition." The source added that Giovanni and Jowita were openly flirting at the party, before revealing: "It was the talk of the evening."
Giovanni's last relationship was with Love Island star Maura Higgins who he split from last October - before going on to enjoy a string on dates with Made In Chelsea star Verity Bowditch. Taking to Instagram after the split, Giovanni insisted that sometimes "great relationships with great people can come to a natural end", which is what happened with him and Maura.
Giovanni has a string of other famous exes including Ashley Roberts, TOWIE's Jess Wright, fellow dance pro Luba Mushtuk, 32, and former celeb dance partner Georgia May Foote.
