Giovanni Pernice was put on the spot over his new relationship with fellow Strictly Come Dancing star Jowita Przystal.

During a joint interview with Strictly judge Anton Du Beke, the 32-year-old pro – who won the BBC show alongside Rose Ayling-Ellis back in 2021 – referred to him and Jowita as a "we".

Asked about his romance, Giovanni told Radio Times: "This was my New Year resolution. We are not talking about anything."

The interviewer then pressed: "We, so there's a 'we'?" to which Giovanni "smiled silently".

Laughing at the not-so-subtle indiscretion, Anton - who is set to go on tour with the Italian hunk - remarked: "I want Gio to find love like I have. He'll be a wonderful dad. He's such a lovely boy. Any girl who ends up with him will be lucky."

He added: "And when he has a girlfriend, he's very good with her. He's committed, loyal, lovely. Everything you'd want."
