Georgia May Foote and Giovanni Pernice have denied rumours that they are engaged after Georgia was spotted sporting a diamond ring on her wedding finger.
The speculation began when the Strictly Come Dancing stars, who met on the dance show back in August, shared a photo of themselves with Georgia showing off a spectacular diamond ring accompanied with an emoji of a couple holding hands.

Fans have been quick to congratulate the pair on their apparent engagement, with one writing: "you both look really happy together. So happy for you both," while another wrote: "congratulations to such a lovely couple, wishing you a very happy future together."
However, Giovanni has insisted that the ring is a commitment ring and that the couple are not engaged, tweeting: "guys we are not engaged. It's a ring which means, in my tradition, we are together. Thanks for the lovely comments."

"I'm in a very good place now. I've got good people around me. It's something that just happened, I didn't get a chance to look at him that way while I was on the show. It was a friendship that blossomed."
The couple have been enjoying their time together, and most recently jetted off to the Maldives for a romantic getaway. From sharing photos of sharks in the clean blue ocean to relaxing at their hotel, the pair described their trip as "paradise."
