OHMYGOSSIP — Giovanni Pernice and Jowita Pryzstal have reportedly split.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professionals have called time on their relationship after falling for each other on the BBC One Latin and ballroom show last series, due to the former’s hectic tour schedule making it “absolutely impossible” for the pair to spend time together.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Giovanni is on tour for the next five months and trying to make time for each other has proved absolutely impossible.
“Although their relationship has ended Giovanni and Jowita said they will stay good friends.
“It is just a shame they couldn’t make it work.”
Not only did the 28-year-old Polish dancer walk away with last year’s glitterball trophy with celebrity partner Hamza Yassin, but she also bagged herself a new beau in the 32-year-old Italian hunk.
An insider had told the newspaper in December: “She and Gio are the worst kept secret, but make a great couple.”
The pair struggled to hide their affection and were often caught catching a kiss backstage.
A source said: “While they both kept insisting they were single, the pair’s chemistry was ridiculous — and they kept getting busted snogging in corridors.
“Crew even saw them kissing in the production office.
“They make a great couple though, and have been pretty inseparable in the last few weeks.
“Jowita, especially, wanted to keep things quiet so she could keep focused with Hamza, and not distract from the competition.
“Giovanni invited Jowita as his date to [Chelsea footballer] Jorghino’s birthday bash at Grappelli, an Italian restaurant in Cobham, Surrey, near the Chelsea training ground.
“They were flirting and made their relationship very known.
“It was the talk of the evening.”
Gio has found love before through the show with the choreographer dating former ‘Coronation Street’ actress Georgia May Foote for eight months after they were partnered up on the 2015 series.
He also romanced Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, who was a contestant in 2018.
Meanwhile, his most recent relationship before Jowita was with ‘Love Island’ star Maura Higgins.
