STRICTLY'S Ashley Roberts and Giovanni Pernice were "inseparable" at the Blackpool after party.

The Sun first revealed the pair - who are not dancing together on the BBC show - had enjoyed a string of dates last month.

Now the Daily Star claims Ashley, 37, and Giovanni, 28, were the talk of the after party in the seaside town on Saturday night.

A show insider told the publication: "It was the talk of Blackpool. Ashley and Gio were inseparable.

“She was literally gazing into his eyes all night. She’s the Pussycat that’s got the cream.

“When they were together at the party, it was like no-one else was in the room.

“The sparks are definitely flying there. They’re both single and keen to mingle – so watch this space.”

Ashley had an incredible weekend all-round in Blackpool, having received the first perfect score of 40 for her Jive with dance partner Pasha Kovalev.

The former Pussycat Doll singer then celebrated with Giovanni - who is paired with Faye Tozer - and her co-stars back at their hotel bar.

Ashley previously admitted: "We’ve gone out for drinks. He’s a lovely guy.

“He is training up north at the moment while she is based down here so they only get to see each other towards the end of the week. But they’ve been making the most of it.

“After the show each week they’ve been heading out for drinks together in London and just hanging out and looking very cosy.

“It’s very early days but it looks like things are going well – and of course they’re both single so it’s all totally innocent fun.”
