The 'Good Morning Britain' co-host appeared on the show today (18.11.20) to update the nation about her 'Strictly' training, and she teased fans they can expect to see her and the 30-year-old dancer "right up in each other's business" on this weekend's show.

She said: "Wait until you see the Argentine Tango - we're right up in each other's business the whole time."

'GMB' co-hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid began teasing Ranvir about a potential romance with Giovanni, and Piers asked if the pair are both single, to which Ranvir said: "Yes."

Referring to the so-called 'Strictly' curse - which has seen pros and celebrities get together with each other during the show - Susanna then said: "And it wouldn't be a curse, it would be a blessing."

Piers added: "It would be the first-ever 'Strictly' blessing."

Ranvir replied: "It would ... in a few minutes I've actually got to go and see him in the training room, so this is very awkward."

Asked if they are "getting close", Ranvir said: "You're basically face-to-face the whole time. There is dance magic.

"He sizzles on his own. He doesn’t need me in the room, he’s a 30-year-old hot Italian. He sizzles around the place."

Ranvir also revealed she has dropped two dress sizes since she started rehearsing for the show.

She said: "I just realised I have dropped two dress sizes in two weeks. So there has definitely been a change."
