Giovanni Pernice has shared a tribute to his “beautiful” girlfriend Molly Brown to mark her 25th birthday. The Strictly Come Dancing star took to social media on Friday (April 26) to declare his love for the model amid recent split rumours.

Back in February, Giovanni, 33, and Molly went public with their relationship. A month after confirming their romance, it was reported that they’d gone their separate ways and unfollowed each other on social media.

At the time of their alleged break-up, an insider told The Mirror: “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.

Despite claims the couple had called it quits, they were photographed together earlier this week leaving the London Palladium. Following the public appearance, the professional dancer has taken to Instagram to wish his love interest a happy birthday.

He shared a cosy snap of him and Molly with his 1.1 million followers and accompanied the image with the caption: “Happy bday to my beautiful !! TMABWAW I love you!” In response to the cute post, Molly has commented: “Love of my life. Thank you baby, TMABW.”

In the snap, the Sicilian wore a double-breasted brown blazer and white shirt while Molly opted for a rhinestone-embellished nude dress.

The BBC star had his arm around his girlfriend as they sweetly smiled for the camera.

Following the post, fans have come out in their droves to compliment the couple.

One Instagram user wrote: “Okay going to sound like your mum now but does this mean we can have a grand baby? Please?”

A second said: “Happy Birthday Molly!! You are a lucky lady... Have a great day.”

“Hope you and your queen are good to and for each other. HBD Molly,” typed another.

A fourth joked: “Aw man you're no longer single that's me out the running dammit.”

This month Giovanni is due to conclude his solo tour, Let Me Entertain You.

Following the run, he will be hitting the road again with fellow Strictly star Anton du Beke.

The pair will embark on their Anton & Giovanni Together: The Live Tour on June 14.

After the pair’s show concludes on June 29, Giovanni will return to the stage in January as part of his ‘Last Dance’ shows.

Ahead of the run, he announced he would be taking a deserved break from performing.

Taking to social media, he wrote: "I have had a wonderful time this year on my solo tour and already looking forward to even bigger and better next year!

“After performing in front of over half a million people for seven years in row, I plan to take a little break after next year’s tour, so book your tickets in advance.”

Giovanni has competed on Strictly Come Dancing for nine consecutive seasons. He made his debut in series 13 with celebrity partner Georgia May Foote.

He then teamed up with Laura Whitmore, Debbie McGee and Faye Tozer before guiding Michelle Visage and Ranvir Singh to seventh and fifth place, respectfully.

He won his first Glitterball Trophy in season 19 with Rose Ayling-Ellis but failed to replicate his success the following year.

He and his professional partner Richie Anderson were eliminated in week three and placed 14th in season 20 of Strictly.

In the latest iteration of the show, Giovanni was partnered with Sherlock actor Amanda Abbington.

However, she withdrew from the competition in October, citing medical reasons.
