Strictly’s Giovanni Pernice dating stunning model after string of secret dates in fallout from Amanda Abbington row
STRICTLY’S Italian stallion GIOVANNI PERNICE has got himself a new girlfriend – stunning MOLLY BROWN, who is nine years his junior.
The Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer, 33, and model Molly, 24, have been trying to keep their romance a secret and deliberately don’t follow each other on Instagram.
But The Sun can reveal that Giovanni and Molly have been on a string of dates out of the spotlight.
A source said: “It’s early days, but they are enjoying each other’s company.”
Blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty Molly – who is represented by London-based agency Scout Model Management – stands at 5ft 7in tall.
She shows off her perfectly toned body in bikini pics for her 5,200 followers on Instagram, where she gives a glimpse into her jet-setting lifestyle with sun-soaked snaps from places like the Maldives, Dubai and Bermuda.
Gio’s latest romance comes amid a media storm in which he was accused of leaving former Strictly partner Amanda Abbington suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder due to his “tough” regime on the BBC dance show.
But outside the training room Gio is a little more popular, with a string of beauties in his little black book.
In the past he has dated actress Georgia May Foote, singer Ashley Roberts and Love Island star Maura Higgins, who was left heartbroken by their split in 2021.
Gio was most recently linked to his fellow pro, Jowita Pryzstal.
The Sun recently revealed Gio tripled his earnings in 12 months, with him waltzing his way to become a millionaire.
His personal firm GP Entertainment Ltd has total assets of £1,189,327, up from £483,126 the previous year.
The profitable business has got £809,776 in reserves despite reportedly being paid a £35,000 flat fee for appearing on Strictly.
It’s after ehe 33-year-old recently launched his own cosmetics brand GP Vita, selling fragrances for men and women for up to £100 a pop.
The firm was set up earlier this year – with Giovanni revealing: “My dream come true is finally here! VITA is my new fragrance for men and women – an intoxicating scent that captures the sensuality, vitality and energy of Sicily.”
