Georgia May Foote holds hands with her new boyfriend and dance partner Giovanni Pernice while heading to the arena on Saturday afternoon (January 23) in Birmingham, England.
The duo were spotted making a quick stop at a local store for some snacks before joining the cast ahead of the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour show that night.
“Thank you so much Birmingham we had an amazing first show!!!!” Georgia shared on Twitter after their first show on Friday.
It was recently confirmed that Georgia and Giovanni had taken their partnership off the dance floor, after she split from Sean Ward.
“We had such an amazing experience on Strictly, it’s nice to be able to go on tour together now and experience this together now,” she shared. “It’s the full journey it’s been amazing.”

“The answer is that we were worried we might not be able to recreate the magic. But we’ll be doing it on tour and I can’t wait. Our other dance is the rumba,” Jay shared about not performing their Jive on the finals of the past season.
He added, “I’m looking forward to dancing in front of a large audience which I’m used to, of course, from being a member of The Wanted. Funnily enough, dancing on TV with a studio audience of just 400 is far more intimidating.”

Despite having announced her retirement from the show, the 31-year-old dancer will join her winning partner, Jay, on tour at the Nottingham Arena on February 9 and 10.
“I’m used to performing in front of massive crowds when touring with The Wanted, but performing with Aliona on the Strictly Live Tour will be a totally different experience,” Jaysaid. “The idea of being back out in front of live audiences is something I’m very much looking forward to.”
The rest of the professional pairings are: Frankie Bridge and Kevin Clifton; Georgia May Foote and Giovanni Pernice; Helen George and Aljaz Skorjanec; Ainsley Harriott and Natalie Lowe; Anita Rani and Gleb Savchenko; and Jake Wood and Janette Manrara.
The team picked up a total of 71 points from the judges (for guidance only) for their freestyle performance and a re-do of their Quickstep.
Georgia May Foote and her partner, Giovanni Pernice, earned 72 points in total for their showdance (where Georgia was blindfolded!) and a re-do of their controversial rumba.
Both stars earned a place in the final three, along with Kellie Bright – we can’t wait to see who wins!
