Polish beauty Jowita, 28, has joined the cast of Strictly after starring in the BBC’s flagship show for the 2022 series.
Meanwhile, the Italian Giovanni (32) has been on the program since 2015.
A source told the publication: “She and Gio are the worst kept secret, but they are a great couple.”
While they both insisted on being single, the couple’s chemistry was ridiculous – and they were repeatedly caught kissing in the hallways. The crew even spotted them kissing in the production office.

However, they are a great couple and have been pretty much inseparable for the past few weeks.
Jowita, in particular, wanted to keep things quiet so she could focus on Hamza and not be distracted from the competition.
The insider added that Giovanni and Jowita revealed their romance at Gio’s friend Chelsea star Jorghino’s birthday dinner, where they openly flirted after keeping their romance a secret for weeks.
The pair danced together in a professional routine at the week four results show in October, where Jowita looked stunning in a green dress as she shared a warm hug with Gio.
Jowita recently split from her longtime boyfriend, fellow dancer Michael Danilczuk.
Representatives for Jowita and Giovanni have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Giovanni’s most recent relationship was with Love Island star Maura Higgins, who he split from last October – before enjoying a string of dates with Made In Chelsea star Verity Bowditch.
Taking to Instagram after the split, Giovanni insisted that “sometimes great relationships with great people can come to a natural end,” which is what happened to him and Maura.
He wrote: “Hey guys, I hope everyone had a great Monday. Here’s to another great week of training – thanks for your great posts and support this weekend.
“Thanks to you, I can live my dream every day – so thank you, thank you, thank you. I wanted to say a few things…
“First of all, good relationships with great people can naturally end. This happened to me recently. There was absolutely no foul play and that should be the end of all speculation.
“While I respect and understand the interest in my personal life, wouldn’t it be great if we could instead use this space to raise awareness of issues and issues that need attention.
“My eyes have been opened to so many things throughout my career. But I’m learning so much about Strictly from this series.
“The show highlighted very important conversations for diverse communities and greater representation.
These are the conversations that deserve time, energy and recognition. We need to focus on what is important and how we can all make a difference in life. Gio x’.
Giovanni has a number of other famous exes, including Ashley Roberts, TOWIE’s Jess Wright, fellow dance pro Luba Mushtuk, 32, and former celebrity dance partner Georgia May Foote.
