Giovanni Pernice and his partner, Bianca Guaccero, were spotted departing from The Ritz London hotel on a Saturday, having celebrated the New Year together.
The 35-year-old dancer publicly acknowledged their relationship towards the end of 2024, and it seems their bond continues to flourish.
Giovanni, who took a break from Strictly Come Dancing last year following his exit from the show, was seen leaving the luxurious hotel clad in a stylish Prada winter coat.
The professional dancer, 35, confirmed their relationship in late 2024 and the romance appears to be still going strong.

The professional dancer, 35, confirmed their relationship in late 2024 and the romance appears to be still going strong.
The couple were the winning pair on the Italian version of the BBC show, Ballando con le Stelle.Â
During the programme, Giovanni gushed that Bianca was ‘was exactly what he needed’ following the bombshell allegations made by Amanda Abbington.
And after revealing his ‘world collapsed’ when his friends abandoned him following the allegations, Giovanni explained how Bianca was ‘very supportive’.
He told Heat magazine: ‘She came into my life during not the greatest time, so I needed some security.
Giovanni revealed the pair have had to make ‘sacrifices’ to ‘make their relationship work’.Â
Bianca has been busy working in Italy, where she is based, while the dancer toured the UK for seven months.
It was revealed that Giovanni would not be returning to Strictly Come Dancing despite hinting at a comeback and the findings of the BBC’s misconduct report into his behaviour.
In July 2024, more than six months after Amanda quit Strictly citing ‘personal reasons’.Â

The actress then accused Giovanni of ‘unnecessary, cruel and mean behaviour’ during their time dancing together on Strictly.
Giovanni rejected the claims immediately and a BBC investigation ruled in September that her claims of physical aggression and threatening behaviour were not upheld.
Complaints of verbal bullying and harassment meant the BBC issued an apology, but Giovanni said he was ‘pleased the report has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour’.
Now cleared by the investigation and a dancer on the Italian version of Strictly, Giovanni will head out on tour again later in the year with best pal Anton Du Beke.
