They look very loved-up too.

Strictly’s Come Dancing Giovanni Pernice and TOWIE’s Jess Wright have confirmed their relationship with a very loved-up snap.

Taking to Instagram to share the news, Giovanni posted a picture of him and Jess with the caption “Buon San Valentino”.

Although they have been rumoured to be dating for a few weeks, this is the first time they’ve officially confirmed that they’re romantically involved.

Buon San Valentino ❤️ @jesswright77

There was speculation that they were dating as they have been spotted meeting up together on a number of occasions.

Giovanni previously dated Georgia May Foote, whom many will recognise as Corrie’s Katy Armstrong, but they split up in August 2016.

The couple had been together for less than a year after meeting when they were partnered together during the 2015 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
