Strictly Come Dancing’s Giovanni Pernice joins Daisy Lowe, Aljaz and fiance Janette for dinner but Laura Whitmore’s invite got lost in the post after epic feud
Giovanni and Laura haven't spoken since she was kicked off the show a few weeks ago
STRICTLY Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice, Daisy Lowe, Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara all went for dinner on Tuesday night but Laura Whitmore was conspicuously absent.
It comes after The Sun revealed Laura and Giovanni 'hate' each other and haven't spoken since they were booted off the show earlier this month.
Daisy and co were all smiles and looked like a close-knit group as they posed for the camera.
The foursome all went for something to eat after attending the UK premiere of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.
Daisy showed off her curves in a pretty velvet black gown decorated with pretty flowers while Janette went for a strapless dress with a black top and floral print skirt.
Model Daisy her partner Aljaz were voted off the BBC talent show last weekend.
Their dinner without Laura comes after a source told us that Giovanni and Laura never got on and were embroiled in a 'toxic feud'.
A source said: “The atmosphere between Laura and Gio was never that great, but it’s now turned toxic.

“They clashed during rehearsals as Laura got increasingly agitated with Gio’s tone and general rudeness.
“They pulled it together for the live shows but behind the scenes it was a different story.
“There’s certainly no love lost between them and it’s doubtful they’ll remain in contact when the series is wrapped up later this month.”
Laura is close pals with former Corrie star Georgia, who partnered Gio during the 2015 series.
They later became a couple but split shortly before the new series, so Laura was given the awkward task of dancing with her friend’s ex.
Another source added: “Gio got frustrated with Laura over-analysing everything and not playing the PR game.
“She didn’t like filming videos and didn’t promote their pairing like other couples did, which is vital to win votes.”
