Last week, for example, Giovanni, who won the series last year with Rose Ayling-Ellis, posted a snapshot of himself lifting the Glitterball trophy.
He wrote in the caption: ‘That indescribable feeling! Today @rose.ae and I pass on our crown of reigning champions to another amazing couple… and believe me when I say that everyone deserves to win!
PASSION: In a secret sign, the pair danced together in a professional routine on the week four results show in October, where Jowita looked gorgeous in a green dress as she enjoyed a steamy hug with Gio.
‘Good luck and remember to vote for your favourites…we all have favourites…and thanks to all of you for supporting and watching another series from @bbcstrictly! There is no show without you ♥️ forever grateful to be a part of this amazing family ♥️.’
Jowita simply replied, ‘❤️’ below the post as she showed her love.
Also, the week before the final, Jowita uploaded a sweet post to her dance partner Hamza, with Giovanni posting below: ‘♥️♥️♥️ well done’.
She wrote: ‘This is it…you did it mate! We did it! We’re in the @bbcstrictly final ❤️ and I couldn’t be more proud of you @hamzayassin90 ❤️.

comes as Sun The hot couple are reported to be the BBC series’ “worst kept secret” after they openly flirted at a recent party.
Polish beauty Jowita joined the cast of Strictly last year and has performed in group dances. She was paired with a celebrity for the first time this year.
Meanwhile, Italian Giovanni has starred on the show since 2015.
A source told the publication: “She and Gio are the worst kept secret, but they make a great couple.”
Sizzling – Arrives as The Sun reports that the hot couple is the BBC series’ “worst kept secret” after they openly flirted at a recent party.
“While they both insisted they were single, the couple’s chemistry was ridiculous, and they were caught making out in the hallways. Crew even saw them kissing in the production office.
However, they make a great couple and have been pretty much inseparable over the past few weeks.
“Jowita, especially, wanted to keep things under wraps so she could focus on Hamza and not be distracted from the competition.”
The source added that Giovanni and Jowita went public with their romance at Gio’s friend Chelsea star Jorginho’s birthday dinner, where they openly flirted after weeks of keeping their romance a secret.

Jowita recently split from her long-term boyfriend, fellow dancer Michael Danilczuk.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Jowita and Giovanni for comment.
Giovanni’s last relationship was with Love Island star Maura Higgins, whom he split from in October last year, before enjoying a series of dates with Made In Chelsea star Verity Bowditch.
Giovanni has a number of other celebrity exes, including Ashley Roberts, Towie’s Jessica Wright, his professional dance partner Luba Mushtuk, 32, and former celebrity dance partner Georgia May Foote.
Jowita has not publicly commented on her split from fellow dancer Michael.
In 2020, he and Jowita catapulted to success in the UK after winning the second series of the BBC show The Greatest Dancer.
The two were trained by Oti Mabuse, a professional dancer who appeared on Strictly from 2015 to 2021, winning the show twice.
According to her website, Jowita and Michael met in 2013 at a summer dance camp in Krakow, Poland.

I am so proud of you @jowitaprzystal. You are the hardest working person on this planet and I know you will be exceptional. I know how much this means to you.
