Laura Whitmore has finally spoken out about her rumoured romance with former Strictly Come Dancing partner Giovanni Pernice.
The Irish tv presenter and professional dancer grew close while they were dancing partners on the hit BBC One show and it was rumoured that they were also romantically involved.
Laura finally set the record straight when asked about Giovanni on Alan Carr’s New Year Specstacular.
“Can we put these rumours to bed about your dance partner Giovanni?” Alan asked Laura.
“One minute you are having an affair, next you hate each other and suddenly you are secretly married with three kids and have adopted a Labrador. Tell us the truth. What is going on?”
“He was a great dance partner and we trained together pretty much every day.” Laura responded.
“Greg (Rutherford) knows what it’s like, it’s full on, and that is it. I wish there was more to it but that’s it. We don’t love each other. We don’t hate each other. We like each other.”
