Taking to his Twitter page, the pro dancer revealed his partner's enthusiasm for tomorrow night's semi-final with a sneak peek into their text conversation.

Sent at 3.19am, Ranvir's message read: "I've woken up and I'm doing the Jive in bed" alongside a crying-with-laughter and face-palm emoji.

Notably, Giovanni has obscured their previous messages in the conversation with large black boxes - making sure that followers can't see any of their previous chat.

Ranvir's profile picture shows her in his arms during rehearsals, with Giovanni adding the caption: "And the semi-final weekend has officially started."

He added to the tweet: "That’s what I call commitment .. 3.19 am"

The pair's sizzling chemistry has been raising eyebrows since they were first paired together for the BBC One dance show - and judge Shirley Ballas has commented on their "flirting and teasing" in the routines.

Giovanni was even caught whispering "come on baby" to Ranvir as they danced together on Saturday night, with the private moment picked up by his microphone.

But the duo also turn up the heat when they're not performing, with Gio affectionately kissing his partner's head while listening to the judges' feedback, and calling her a "beautiful princess" on social media.

When she was first announced as a Strictly competitor, Ranvir admitted she'd be open to the show's infamous curse, adding: "Well, I am single!"

The GMB star recently split from husband Ranjeet Singh Dehal, who she shares eight-year-old son Tushaan with.

Giovanni previously dated two Strictly contestants in Georgia May Foote and Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, who he broke up with in January.
