It comes just days after Giovanni denied he had got engaged to Molly, as she appeared to have been photographed wearing an engagement ring over the weekend.

The pair were spotted leaving the London Palladium on Sunday evening, where Giovanni is starring in his Let Me Entertain You show and blonde bombshell Molly was seen sporting a ring on her engagement finger.

The model was snapped wearing a sparkling rock, leading to whispers that Italian dancer Giovanni may have proposed just one month after the couple decided to end their romance, but Giovanni's management have told OK!: "This is definitely not true".

Back in early March, Giovanni and Molly made their relationship public. However, only three weeks later, the pair unfollowed each other on social media and removed the loved-up photo which they had both posted on their respective Instagram accounts to announce they were dating.

Giovanni had shared a loved-up snap with Molly on Instagram, where he referred to her as 'Amore Mio' - Italian for 'My Love'. In a podcast interview, the dancer then admitted he was "off the market."

This week, the dancer has also had some big career news to share as he sold out the London Palladium with his solo show again.

Giovanni shared a video of himself and his backing dancers at the end of the stage as he was given a standing ovation and wrote: "Don't mind me, I'm just a bloke from Sicily, taking in that I have managed to sell out The London Palladium for another year with my OWN SOLO SHOW..."

It comes after he announced that he would be taking a break from performing following his next solo show, writing: "I have had a wonderful time this year on my solo tour and already looking forward to even bigger and better next year!

"After performing in front of over half a million people for seven years in row, I plan to take a little break after next year's tour, so book your tickets in advance for 'GIOVANNI - THE LAST DANCE' now at www.giovannipernice.com.."
