This years Strictly Come Dancing is full of swirling romance rumours - from Joe and Dianne to Lauren and AJ. 

And now, there have been whispers about Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts and pro dancer Giovanni Pernice.

She said, ''Giovanni and I are friends. Listen, I'm really, really focussed on the show. I'm really, really passionate about being here."

She continued, "It's about the dance for me, so…no, we are just friends. I'm single."

He was unimpressed, saying, "According to the press I change girlfriend every single day."

He continued, ''We are really good friends. She's a lovely person, but I'm single. I'm in Newcastle every single day, so there's no chance for me."

The pair first fuelled rumours when they went out for drinks together earlier this month. 

However she did say that dating wasn't at the top of her list right now.

She said, "I'm so focused on the show right now. What happens after that, I don't know. The right guy will come along at the right time, I believe that."

Strictly continues this Saturday on BBC One at 6:50pm.
