Strictly Come Dancing champion Jowita Przystal is said to be secretly dating fellow pro Giovanni Pernice.
It comes after the dancer split from ex-boyfriend Michael Danilczuk, who helped her realize her dreams of landing a spot on the Saturday night show.
The Polish couple, who have been open in the past about wanting to join the Strictly lineup, were catapulted to success in the UK after winning the second series of BBC show The Greatest Dancer in 2020.
And while BBC bosses hired Jowita, 28, that same year, Michael, 30, only appeared in group numbers before going dancing on the Irish and Polish versions of the show.
