Giovanni Pernice has reportedly begun dating his fellow Strictly Come Dancing professional Jowita Przystal.
The 32-year-old Sicilian - a mainstay of the BBC contest since 2015 - is said to have got together with Przystal in recent weeks and they have been "inseparable" ever since.
According to The Sun, Pernice invited the Polish dancer, who won this year's series with Hamza Yassin, to a party for Chelsea footballer Jorginho last week.
A show source told the newspaper: "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.
"Giovanni invited Jowita as his date to Jorghino's birthday bash at Grappelli, an Italian restaurant in Cobham, Surrey, near the Chelsea training ground.
"They were flirting and made their relationship very known. It was the talk of the evening."
Pernice has previously dated Georgia May Foote, Ashley Roberts and Maura Higgins, while Przystal split from fellow dancer Michael Danilczuk earlier this year.
