GIOVANNI Pernice and Debbie McGee have been joined at the hip since they began competing on Strictly Come Dancing together.
But the hunky 27-year-old enjoyed a night out in London with actress Emily Atack on Wednesday.
Fans have been loving the chemistry between Giovanni and Debbie during their high-scoring routines, and many have been wishing the pair were more than just friends.
However, Giovanni spent time with Inbetweeners star Emily at popular hotspot Soho House.
The duo were seen arriving at 9pm and left together at 1.54 am, with the pair getting into the same taxi.
Giovanni was dressed for the occasion in a black suit and light blue shirt, while Emily went for an all-black ensemble.
But the next morning saw Giovanni was seen pulling Debbie, 59, in for a kiss as they meet outside their rehearsal studio.
It’s not the first time the pair have enjoyed a kiss – they sent viewers into a frenzy after Paul Daniel’s widow planted a smacker on the Italian professional at the end of their Paso Doble.
Since then viewers of the BBC dancing show have been rooting for the pair to start up a romance – as they continue to go from strength to strength on the dance floor.
One person recently tweeted: “Anybody else want Giovanni and Debbie to become a couple?”
While another wrote: “I'm so loving the rapport between Debbie&Giovanni... I want them to be the next #Strictly romance SO MUCH.”
And someone else added: “My bet is still on Debbie and Giovanni for this year’s strictly romance.”
Meanwhile Giovanni recently gushed about the connection he has with Debbie, saying: "I've got the winning partner, not just in this competition, but for the rest of my life.
"Debbie has to be the best person I've met in this country so far. She is just amazing."
Debbie has however shut down an suggestion of romance, but did admit she finds it flattering that people think they are together.
She told magazine: "We have a great working dance partnership and we really love each other as human beings, so I can see why people want to say there's something going on. For a woman of my age, it makes me feel fantastic."
