Giovanni Pernice seemed to get cosy with a mystery blonde woman on a lively London night out.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 32, departed the BBC ballroom earlier this month with radio host Richie Anderson.
The pair became the second couple to be eliminated from this year’s series in week three, a dramatic change for reigning champ Giovanni who won the show with Rose Ayling-Ellis last year.

But it seems he was able to put the early exit behind him this week as he was spotted laughing with a group of female fans on a night out in London’s Soho.

The Italian hunk looked dapper in a beige suit, white shirt and black jeans so it would come as no surprise if he was turning some heads on the town.
Gio looked in high spirits as he enjoyed a night out with a group of friends and colleagues, as well as some fans that approached him.
One snap showed Gio share a laugh with a stunning blonde lady, and at one point both pulled out their phones during the conversation.

The dancing pro appeared to be getting on well with a group of women and posed for pictures with them in the smoking area outside a bar.
He hugged one lucky lady in a gemetric dress and even gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Representatives for Gio have confirmed the Gio and the lady did not swap numbers and he was simply taking a picture with a fan whilst waiting for a taxi.

Speaking about his exit on Strictly’s It Takes Two, Richie said: “We’ve worked hard because before Strictly the only place I danced was in a nightclub and I feel I was brining that same vibe to Strictly, so we worked on making me a bit more gracious and a bit more Latin and Ballroom.
“But I totally accept the result on Saturday night, and it is how it is. I am so lucky that I got to do Strictly, and I met some amazing people.”

Poor Richie was left in floods of tears after host Rylan Clark showed a montage of their best bits.
Asked if he was proud of Richie, Giovanni replied: “I am indeed, you should see the effort that he puts in the room every day, he really wants to get it right.
“As I said before I’m glad you got to do this experience and maybe come back for a Christmas special at some point and dance again.”
Daily Star has contacted representatives of Giovanni for comment.
