Stand-up comedian Emily Atack and Strictly Come Dancing’s Giovanni Pernice reportedly snogged “the faces off each other” while at the BRIT Awards afterparty on Tuesday night.
Emily, 32, and Giovanni, 31, were said to be very close after the awards ceremony which took place at the O2 Arena in London.
According to the Mirror, professional dancer Giovanni travelled to London from Glasgow so he could party with the actress at The Box during the musical ceremony.
The two TV stars could be seen together in the smoking area of the star-studded bash, in an image that has been obtained by the MailOnline.

Emily was also seen leaving the BRIT Awards with Strictly’s professional dancer Graziano Di Prima, 27 but is believed Giovanni wasn’t in attendance at the ceremony itself.
Seeing the pair together, an onlooker claimed to have told The Sun: “Gio and Emily were snogging the faces off each other. Their hands were everywhere and they were absolutely loving it.
“He had been following her around the club and joined her on Maya Jama’s private table. Before long he had his arms draped over her on the dance floor where they kissed — and then held hands outside in the smoking area.”

The bystander also said the pair seemed to enjoy saucy performers who were on stage and claimed that their conduct was “more than flirty”.
The following day, Emily took to her Instagram to post a picture of herself to fans where she revealed that she felt hungover.
Both Giovanni and Emily hit the headlines last year for their romantic connections with other well-known stars.
Last year, Strictly Come Dancing winner Giovanni dated Love Island’s Maura Higgins.
Although it was believed that the pair’s relationship would progress to an engagement, the stunning couple hit a bump in the road and called off their relationship after four months.

An insider told The Sun: “It’s all over for now. Maura’s absolutely devastated, it appears the Strictly curse has struck again.
“Pals are hoping that they can patch things up. But only time will tell whether they’ll work things out as Giovanni is so busy.”
Meanwhile, Emily was romantically linked with England’s footballer Jack Grealish, 26.
The Sun also reported that Jack and Emily allegedly enjoyed some secret dates together while the athlete was on a break from his long-term girlfriend Sasha Attwood.
