Appearing on Lorraine this morning, Ranvir, 43, told the host that dances, like their red-hot Argentine tango, have seen their bodies glued together.

Demonstrating how pro dancer Giovanni, 30, works in rehearsals, Ranvir laughed: I can't tell you the words he uses."

She then giggled that she told him: "You know me better than my own GP."

Despite the pair's obvious connection, yesterday Ranvir insisted there is no "hanky panky" going on between them.

GMB host Piers Morgan grilled her on what's been going on behind the scenes, as he demanded to know if she's kissed her dance partner.

"No of course not," said Ranvir.

"He is very much about the energy of the performance.

"It's more than just learning the steps or the routine.

"I'm a total beginner so really I'm not going to be able to do the steps that Maisie [Smith] does. She's an incredible dancer."

She added: "We get on, it's just we both... there's a performance element to the dancing.

"It's about telling the story of two people. Of course when you keep playing that clip it's awkward."

Ranvir was referring to the moment she went to kiss Giovanni in their dramatic Tango performance on Saturday.

Their steamy dances have set tongues wagging - but The Sun revealed Giovanni has blasted rumours he is dating Ranvir.
