Strictly’s Giovanni Pernice forced to deny affair with Faye Tozer after former pro Gleb claims he’s been ‘hooking up’ behind the scenes
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has been forced to deny having an affair with his married partner Faye Tozer following claims made by an ex-dancer on the show.
Former pro Gleb Savchenko shocked fans of the BBC dance show this week when he told The Sun that everyone on Strictly was cheating – and hinted that Giovanni and Faye “could have hooked up”.
Italian hunk Giovanni, 28, has hit back at Gleb’s claims, branding them “rubbish”.
He told us: "This is total and utter nonsense! No one has any idea why Gleb is saying stuff like this. It's utter rubbish."
Steps singer Faye, 42, has been married to husband Michael for nearly nine years and has son Benjamin with him.
Despite her happy relationship, Gleb hinted that something was going on between her and the currently single Giovanni.
He said: "We’ve seen Seann and Katya making out outside a bar and if you asked me if I think people like Giovanni and his partner or any of the others are making out when no one is seeing it, I cannot answer that question. It could well be happening.
“They may have hooked up even before Seann and Katya.”
