The Sun revealed that former Pussycat Doll Ashley, 37, and show hunk Giovanni, 28, were dating earlier this year, and the new couple flew out to the US to spend Christmas with her family earlier this month.

But they’ve remained coy on their relationship status until now.

The loved-up duo were spotted on a night out with Giovanni’s Strictly co-stars Janette Manrara and Alijaz Skorjanac.

Wearing a leather mini-skirt and leopard-print belt, Ashley kissed Giovanni, chatted to pals and wiped sweat off her face on leaving the club.

Ashley and pro partner Pasha Kovalev, 38, reached the final but fans turned on her over her previous dance experience.
The Sun had told of her and Giovanni, 28, a finalist with Steps star Faye Tozer, 43, growing close in rehearsals but the pair tried to keep it under wraps at first.

But things are now clearly getting serious, as insiders say this is the first time Giovanni’s skipped Christmas with his family to spend it away.

“This is a sign of just how heavily Giovanni has fallen for Ashley during the three to four months they were working in close quarters together,” a source told The Sun Online.

“But because of the show’s punishing rehearsal and performance schedule they couldn’t spend as much time together as they might have liked.

“So now that the show is over, they’re virtually inseparable. That includes not wanting to be apart at Christmas, even if that means Giovanni has to make a sacrifice.”

The pair were caught snogging at Strictly’s wrap party before going on their Christmas break.
