Giovanni Pernice has run away to Dubai with his girlfriend Molly Brown this week days before it emerged that he’s ‘quit’ Strictly Come Dancing after nine years on the show.
The dancer, 33, left the programme because the scrutiny became ‘too much’ when three of his ex dance partners slammed his ‘militant’ approach.
However, he looked calm and refreshed on his relaxing getaway, with Molly, 25, documenting the trip in a slew of Instagram posts.
When Gio and Molly Started Seeing Each Other
The couple, who first confirmed their romance at the end of February, proved they were still going strong after being hit by rumours they had split.
The TV personality packed on the PDA with his model girlfriend in one snap as he was seen kissing her cheek as they soaked up the sun at the beach.
Gio Can Also Lift
Gio also showed of one of his impressive dancing lifts as he launched Molly into the air performing the iconic Dirty Dancing lift in front of the Dubai Fountains.
She wrote: ‘Let me tell you about my best friend…’Taking to the comments, Giovanni replied: ‘I love you ❤️ like a lot!!’

About the Scrutiny
Amanda, who dramatically withdrew from last year’s competition and was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after the show, is said to have met with Laura Whitmore, 39, and Ranvir Singh, 46, earlier this year for an ’emotional summit’ to ‘compare notes’ about their time working with him.
Even though, the BBC stood by Gio and been keen to sign the professional dancer for its 20th anniversary series, he has decided to not return after eight years on the show.
