Strictly Come Dancing star Ranvir Singh was left tearful on the BBC show tonight as she said she “danced with her heart” in a romantic routine with dance partner Giovanni Pernice.
Tonight show saw the pair dance a Viennese Waltz to She Used To Be Mine from theatre show Waitress as the programme held a Musicals week.
After an emotional routine, the pair got heaps of praise from the Strictly Come Dancing judges, with Motsi Mabuse choking up and head judge Shirley Ballas giving them a standing ovation.
Motsi told Good Morning Britain star Ranvir: “I feel like you’ve now finally come into you.
Ranvir and Giovanni wowed with their romantic routine
Speaking to Claudia Winkleman afterwards, Ranvir, 43, said she felt emotional over the comments.
She told the presenter: “A friend who came to the first live show said, ‘Dance with your heart and your feet will follow and tonight I really tried to do that.'”
Giovanni agreed as he said: “Absolutely.”
The pair promised earlier in the week on Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two that this weekend’s routine would be “braver”.
This came after criticism from judge Craig Revel Horwood that they had played things too “safe” with their routine last week.
Ranvir and Giovanni have been surrounded by romance rumours since being paired up on the show.
However, Giovanni, 30, has reportedly claimed they are nothing more than friends.
A friend of the Strictly star insisted there is no “spark” between the pair – just a friendship – according to The Sun.
A source reportedly told the publication: “The romance viewers think they see between them is just for TV.
“They have forged a close friendship but there isn’t a spark like that between them. Both of them are getting tired of the rumours.”
Daily Star has contacted Giovanni’s rep for comment.
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One on Sunday, airing at 7:30pm
