It's well-known that Giovanni Pernice certainly doesn't struggle in the romance department.
The Strictly Come Dancing star has been in relationships with quite a few famous faces since he made his debut on the BBC show in 2015.
He's found love with his previous dance partners as well as numerous reality TV stars in the past, and now he's been linked to actress Emily Atack.
Giovanni reportedly shared a kiss with Emily, 32, at the afterparty of The BRIT Awards 2022, which took place on Tuesday 8 February.
An onlooker told The Sun: “Gio and Emily were snogging the faces off each other. Their hands were everywhere and they were absolutely loving it."
Here we take a look back through the 31 year old's colourful dating history…
Georgia May-Foote
Giovanni's first celebrity partner on Strictly Come Dancing was Coronation Street star Georgia May-Foote.
The pair had incredible chemistry on the dancefloor which took them all the way to the final but they regularly denied any romance as Georgia was in a relationship with co-star Sean Ward.

However, following the show's conclusion, Georgia split with Sean for good and enjoyed a romantic New Year's Eve trip to Paris with new boyfriend Giovanni.
She said at the time, "Gio is everything to me. I'm 100 per cent happy with Gio.
"He's smitten and I'm the same. We trust each other. We fell in love as friends before anything happened."
But just eight months later they decided to call time on the romance. She wrote, "It is with great sadness we have decided to split up. There is nobody else involved. Although it was not an easy decision to make, sometimes you realise that it is better to be friends and this is one of those times.
"We both have very busy work schedules for the rest of the year so we are both going to focus on our upcoming work projects and we wish each other well for the future."
Jess Wright
At the end of 2017 he began dating reality TV royalty Jess Wright, who has recently married William Lee Kemp.
The pair reportedly met through Jess' brother Mark Wright, after he previously appeared on the show.
They went public on Valentine's Day but split just a few months later. Giovanni called time on the romance, reportedly because of her popularity, leaving Jess heartbroken.
This lead to a passionate altercation at the Pride of Britain Awards where Jess told him, "You broke my heart, you lied to me" and said he was "full of s**t".
Speaking about the incident to OK!, she said, “We hadn't seen each other since we split. I didn’t choose to bump into him that night.
“I definitely wasn’t shouting, I was just being passionate, as I always am when I’ve got an opinion.”
Ashley Roberts
When Ashley Roberts appeared on the 2018 series of Strictly she was partnered with Pasha Kovalev, but that didn't stop her growing close to Giovanni.
They confirmed their relationship on New Year's Eve with a kissing photo in Miami. He wrote, "I never thought anyone would ever make me smile, laugh and steal my heart as fast as you did !! I love you amore."

After over a year together they decided to go their separate ways. Giovanni wrote, “@ImAshleyRoberts and I have made the decision to separate as a couple. We remain friends and wish each other well for the future.”
Giovanni has also been linked to Love Island stars Joanne Chimonides and Amy Hart, as well as Coronation Street actress Katie McGlynn, who denied the rumours saying, "People just decided we were dating because we were seen talking."
While speculation surrounded him and former Strictly partner Ranvir Singh due to their sizzling performances but Giovanni said "there's absolutely no way" they would date.
Maura Higgins
Giovanni's most recent relationship was with Love Island beauty Maura Higgins, with the pair confirming their romance in the summer of 2021.
While the couple looked smitten with one another as they shared a string of loved-up snaps to Instagram, they eventually called it quits later on that same year.
Maura and Giovanni deleted all traces of each other from their Instagram accounts, ultimately confirming their romance had come to an end.
Sources have since claimed that Giovanni ended the relationship due to his extremely busy schedule with Strictly, while other reports said that the dancer did not want to settle down, while Maura did.
Addressing the break-up on his Instagram Stories, Giovanni previously wrote: “Firstly, great relationships with great people can come to a natural end. This has been the case for me recently.
“There was absolutely no wrong-doing & this should be the end of any speculation.”
