Former Strictly Come Dancing star Gleb Savchenko has wagered big money on the fact he thinks Laura Whitmore will hook up with her dance partner, Giovanni Pernice.
The dancer who appeared on the show last year, wouldn’t be surprised if the pair got together – especially considering Giovanni’s history.
Giovanni danced with Georgia May Foote last year and following the show, the pair dated for a number of months.
He reckons the same thing will happen with Laura, and is willing to bet top dollars on it.
Speaking to Star Magazine, Gleb said, “They were never going to get married, have kids and live happily ever after. I bet you £100 Giovanni will get with Laura this year. And next season I’ll bet you another £100 he will get with his new partner!”
Despite these speculations, Laura previously admitted that while she understands how romances can blossom from this show, for her, it’s only about the dancing.
Speaking on the Marian Finucane show, Laura said, “I can see why it happens; you spend a lot of time with this one person and you’re very close to them.
“There’s certain dances that aren’t too bad, but the waltz and the tango and those kind of sexy dances, where you have to be up close and personal, you can see how it can happen.”
