Georgia May Foote says 'Strictly curse' rumours about her and Giovanni are 'offensive'
MANY celebrities have been struck by the dreaded 'Strictly curse' but it looks certain that Georgia May Foote won't be one of them.
Georgia May Foote and dance partner Giovanni Pernice are rumoured to be more than just friends
The 24-year-old, who is a favourite to win the BBC One show, has slammed rumours of a romance between her and her professional partner Giovanni Pernice.
"It’s so stupid and quite offensive hearing rumours like that. Giovanni and I are just good mates - it’s lovely," the pretty brunette said.
Understandably, Georgia is keen to quash the rumours as she is currently in a relationship with her former Coronation Street co-star Sean Ward.
The hunky actor has been at every live Strictly show supporting his girlfriend, and was pictured keeping her close by as they exited the studios on Saturday night.

Referring to her beau, Georgia told The Mirror: "He helps me switch off. He makes me tea and we sit and watch a bit of telly.
