Strictly’s Ranvir Singh and Giovanni Pernice fuel romance rumours as Shirley Ballas praises ‘chemistry and flirting’

STRICTLY Come Dancing's Ranvir Singh and Giovanni Pernice fuelled romance rumours this evening - with judge Shirley Ballas praising their "flirting".

Viewers are convinced that a romance is growing between the Good Morning Britain presenter and her professional dance partner after spotting sizzling chemistry between them on the show.

And their sexy cha-cha-cha did nothing to dispel the speculation, with Ranvir and Giovanni appearing closer than ever tonight.

Ranvir, 43, looked sensational and teased a glimpse of her toned body in the sexy fishnet outfit, with 30-year-old Giovanni exposing his bare chest.

The routine left viewers hot under the collar, with Shirley drawing attention to their chemistry.

She gushed after the performance: "I love the flirting and teasing, there's definitely a strong chemistry between this team."

Unfortunately, Shirley only gave the pair a seven out of 10 for the dance, with Craig Revel Horwood earning boos after he awarded them a five, while stand-in judge Anton Du Beke gave them eight.

But fans at home were more distracted by Ranvir and Giovanni's growing relationship than their score, with one tweeting: "Ranvir and Giovanni have more chemistry than bloody c3h8+O".

Another agreed: "Strong chemistry, eh? Ranvir and Giovanni next for the #StrictlyCurse".

A third shared fire emojis as they wrote: "The way Giovanni was looking at Ranvir."

One more swooned: "Ranvir and Giovanni have got a good chemistry".

Ranvir recently told The Sun Online that Giovanni had reignited her pride in her figure - making her look "10 years younger".
