Strictly's Giovanni Pernice has set tongues wagging with engagement rumours after he was seen with his ex-girlfriend, Molly Brown, following their break up in March.

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 Strictly Come Dancing pro, 33, appeared to be in high spirits as he left the London Palladium hand-in-hand with model and social media influencer, Molly, 24. Giovanni looked dapper in a deep green suit and a crisp white shirt.

Molly, meanwhile, looked stunning in a long-lined red coat. Beneath it, the model wore a deep navy mini dress and she completed the chic look with some heels, reports the Mirror.

While her outfit was eye-catching, it was Molly's ring finger that grabbed attention. The model was snapped wearing a sparkling rock on her engagement finger, 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.

The Mirror reported earlier this year that Strictly dancer Giovanni and beauty queen Molly were dating, before it was reported that the pair split following a series of rows. 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."

A source said at the time: "Things between Molly and Giovanni initially were going really well. But in the last week or two they have really deteriorated. The two of them have had a series of bust ups and decided to call it quits. The fact they've erased each other from social media is obviously telling. It certainly doesn't look like there's any way back for them."

The Italian hunk was previously linked to fellow Strictly stars Ashley Roberts and Maura Higgins.

Giovanni's representatives have been approached for comment.
