A source told The Mirror: ‘They are seeing each other but are keeping it quiet. They don’t want the kind of attention Jowita got with Giovanni, especially since it’s still early days for him.

They added: “They’ve been hanging out together quite a bit when not rehearsing, and have been in and out of each other’s dressing rooms.”
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Vito and Jowita for comment.
Before joining the show, Jowita was in a long-term relationship with fellow dancer Michael Danilczuk, with whom she won BBC One’s The Greatest Dancer in 2020.
In December 2022, she began dating Giovanni Pernice, but the couple split in April after they allegedly fell victim to “hectic work schedules.”
The pair reportedly ended their romance, just three months after reports of the relationship emerged when The Sun reported that with Giovanni being on tour it meant creating time for each other was “impossible.”
Meanwhile, romance speculation surrounded Vito and Ellie throughout the competition as the pair lifted the Glitterball trophy in December.
However, despite their loved-up appearance, the pair insisted they were just best friends, and Ellie confessed in March that she still speaks to her former dance partner every day.
Ellie later enjoyed a brief romance with Bobby Brazier after the pair embarked on a whirlwind relationship during the Strictly tour.
