Strictly's Giovanni rates himself '2000 out of ten' in bed as he boasts about sex life

Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice bragged about having sex '150 times a week' in a very colourful new interview.

The Italian dancer, 30, said he knows he is 'gorgeous and good looking' and rated himself a 2000 out of ten in bed.

As well as reaching the finals of the BBC dance competition, Giovanni has also gained attention through his relationships with former contestants of the show including Ashley Roberts and Georgia May Foote.

He was also linked to Good Morning Britain's Ranvir Singh last year and Debbie McGee in 2017, although the rumours about both ladies were dimissed.

Speaking to Heat magazine about his prowess, Giovanni joked he's a '2000 out of ten' in the bedroom before suggesting the question be asked to those 'people who have been with me.'

He also joked he's ageing like a 'fine wine' and quipped of his sex life "If I’m in a relationship, it depends on your partner – if your partner is busy, if you’re tired, if you’re on holiday, at home. You can have sex 150 times a week or once – you’ve just got to make it good!"

Giovanni did reveal his softer side as he admitted he's felt lonely following his split from Pussycat Dolls girlfriend Ashley.

"Like for everybody, it’s been strange. I broke up with my girlfriend just before lockdown and you just deal with it.

"It was lonely, but luckily, Strictly came back and there was the distraction of being in quarantine with everybody else. It shifted my brain to something else."

Giovanni split with his singer and Heart FM presenter Ashley in January 2020 after more than a year together.

At the time the dancer released a statement on Instagram that read: "'@ImAshleyRoberts and I have made the decision to separate as a couple. We remain friends and wish each other well for the future."

Earlier this year it was rumoured the single star had been spotted on celebrity dating app Raya.

"Giovanni is a good looking chap and is keeping all his options open at the moment," a source told The Sun.
