Strictly Come Dancing professional choreographer Giovanni Pernice has offered fans an update on his romance with last year's contestant and former Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts.

Although the two lovebirds weren't actually paired up with each other during the series, they sparked a relationship behind-the-scenes, keeping things on the down-low until after the BBC dancing show wrapped.

Back in January, they then made things official on Instagram when Giovanni shared a photo of them on a jet ski.

Now, in an interview with The Sun, the Italian pro has discussed how their "amazing" relationship is progressing, even hinting that they'll soon be moving in together.

"It's going amazing," he said, "I'm hoping to take her home to Italy to meet my parents soon, and I'll go to America to meet her family.

"We'll be living in England together hopefully. We're happy."

So there you have it folks. Things really are going well!

Meanwhile, the couple were seen happily showing off their relationship during the most recent series of Dancing on Ice last month.

Giovanni and Ashley (who previously served as a judge on the show) were spotted in the audience as they supported the latter's former Pussycat Dolls bandmate, Melody Thornton.

Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC One later this year.
