STRICTLY Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has given fans a glimpse inside his London home as he showed off the Glitterball trophy.
The professional dancer – who won the BBC One competition with EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis over the weekend – filmed his festive-decorated living room.
Giovanni, 31, showed off his huge living room as he relaxed after winning Strictly Come Dancing following months of rehearsals and shows.
The modern apartment boasts bright decor, white walls, wooden floors and modern appliances – as well as a stunningly-decorated Christmas tree.
In his living room, the ballroom star has a large plasma TV, grey sofa and a sleek black TV unit, as well as a large set of white shelves.
On the shelves – as well as books and bottles of champagne – Giovanni showed off the Glitterball trophy taking pride of place.
Meanwhile, Giovanni’s bedroom features a long hanging mirror, perfect to take outfit of the day selfies. The space also boasts a large white wardrobe.
The Italian hunk – who The Celeb Report revealed is dating Made In Chelsea’s Verity Bowditch – won the competition this year alongside Rose, 27.
The pair often post gushing messages to one another and viewers have commented on their incredible chemistry.
The EastEnders star, was the heavy favourite ahead of the series finale, and she didn’t put a foot wrong on her way to claiming the Glitterball with Giovanni.
Bake Off winner John Whatie, 32, and partner Johannes Radebe put up a good fight, but viewers favoured Rose on the night.
On winning for the first time, Giovanni said: “Thank you to this beautiful young lady who made all of my dreams come true.”
Rose said: “You are so amazing, you pushed me to believe in myself. I just want you to know you’ve always got a place in my heart.”
Last month following their silent dance, Giovanni posted a pic of the performance, writing: “A moment that will remain forever in my heart. You really are a role model.”
At the end of their routine, the flirty Italian told Rose he “loved her” before they received a near-perfect 39 out of 40.
Earlier this month, the duo melted hearts on This Morning as Giovanni said Rose was the “100 per cent the best partner” he’d had.
Meanwhile, their flirty banter is non-stop and they are often seen on Instagram messing around backstage, and play fighting.
Rose has been dating her partner Samuel Arnold for seven years.
The soap star has tried to keep her personal life out of the public eye, but has sometimes taken to social media to share sweet snaps of her and her beloved boyfriend.
And a source tells New magazine there are concerns over how Samuel is feeling about their connection.
A source told the magazine: “Pals worry it’s hard for her boyfriend. He’s delighted for her, of course – she’s the star of the show.
“But there are concerns he is raising an eyebrow at their closeness. Rose and Giovanni have got a special kind of magic nobody could imagine. It’s very rare.”
The show source continued: “Rose is very focused and wants to win, but she and Giovanni are getting closer and closer.
“You can see from the praise they’re giving each other and the open compliments about how proud they are of each other.”
Verity, 26, has had several secret meetings with Giovanni just a month after he split from Love Island’s Maura Higgins, also 31.
