Strictly’s Ranvir Singh fuels romance rumours with Giovanni Pernice as she compliments his dreamy looks
STRICTLY Come Dancing Ranvir Singh has fuelled romance rumours with her professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice.
The Good Morning Britain presenter split from her husband Ranjeet Singh Dehal in the months before her appearance on the BBC stalwart was confirmed.
Since appearing on the ballroom together, Strictly fans are convinced Ranvir and the Italian dancer’s sizzling chemistry could lead to romance.
Now adding fuel to the speculation, the 43-year-old gushed over her professional dance partner on Instagram after she earned her highest score of the series so far for her Dream Girls-inspired Foxtrot.
Taking to social media, the broadcaster shared a snap of her and Giovanni posing in their 60s-style ballroom costumes for the show’s Movie Week.
Ranvir wrote: “Totally transformed into a 1962 Dreamgirl for #movieweek @bbcstrictly by the sensational craft of @lisadaveyhair for the breathtaking bouffant @hollylouisehmua for the glam glittery eye make up and dreamy dewy skin and @vickygilldesign for the stunning outfit – and the support pants AWESOME WORK LADIES…”
She then cheekily added: “Oh and @pernicegiovann1 literally gets out of bed and looks like that [eye roll emoji] and that’s not even a joke [fire emoji]”.
The flirtatious post comes days after viewers shared their hope the couple will be struck by the ‘Strictly curse’.
After seeing the passion in Ranvir and Giovanni’s first two performances, one fan wrote on Twitter: “You were amazing ranvir!!! You and Giovanni have such a connection, is this the ‘strictly curse’ coming into play again?!”
Another previously said: “@piersmorgan has ranvir got the strictly curse with Giovanni piers see them both at the end by Claudia can’t keep their hands off each other cuddles smiles kisses ???? Makes you wonder if something is blossoming ….”
As a third questioned: “Ranvir and Giovanni seem to get on rather well already don’t they! Strictly curse?!”
It seems Ranvir wouldn’t mind a bit of romance, if her own words are anything to go by.
