Paul Daniels’ widow and the professional dancer put on a cosy display as they waited outside the studio together.
The pair, who have previously dismissed any claims of a romance, were seen standing very close to eat other while the Italian put his hands around her face.
Looking up at him, Debbie, 59, appeared to be leaning into Giovanni, 27, for a kiss just moments before they started rehearsals.
They are taking on the Salsa on Saturday to I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You by Boys Town Gang.

I absolutely adore him and I have no doubt that he adores me
Despite their embrace and chemistry on the dance floor, the pair said they are no more than just good pals.
“I absolutely adore him and I have no doubt that he adores me. We have a great working dance partnership and we really love each other as human beings,” Debbie told Bella magazine.
She continued: “So I can see why people want to say there is something going on. We have great chemistry and love dancing together. But there's nothing going on.”

Giovanni added: “I’ve got the winning partner, not just in this competition, but for the rest of my life. Debbie has to be the best person I’ve met in this country so far. She is just amazing.”
Debbie lost her magician spouse in March last year while Giovanni was previously in a relationship with former partner Georgia May Foote.
