They met on Strictly Come Dancing - and fans have since been captivated by their blossoming romance.

But Giovanna Pernice sent fans into MELTDOWN mode when he shared a professional shot of himself and Georgia May Foote on Instagram this week.

In the romantic black-and-white shot, Giovanni and Georgia can be seen dressed in formal wear and beaming into the camera.

Her left hand, lightly resting on his chest, is prominent in the shot.

And, yes, there IS a big old diamond ring on it!

Check it out:

He captioned it with a simple boy and girl kissing emoji, making sure to tag his Strictly dance partner in the picture.

It wasn’t long before he was flooded with messages of congratulations.

“Congratulations, really chuffed for you both!” wrote one fan.

Another added: “That's so lovely! What a gorgeous couple!”

"Aww my favourites on strictly! Congratulations guys if you're engaged (sic),” said another, slightly more doubtful, fan.

However Gio has since come forward to DENY that he and Georgia will be walking down the aisle any time soon.

He said firmly: “Guys we are not engaged.

“This is a ring which means,in my tradition, that we are together.”

The professional dancer added: “Thanks for all the lovely comments! We are really happy together!"

Despite some initial disappointment, fans admitted that they felt this was a beautiful idea.

“Think that's a lovely tradition,” said one.

Another said: “Too cute - love this idea.”

However one added: “So this ring shows they are in a committed relationship and are serious about each other...

“Basically an engagement ring then!”

Giovanna has previously spoken out about that ring, after being criticised for getting engaged too quickly after her relationship with Sean Ward ended.

Insisting that her new bling was nothing more than a heartfelt gift, she told the Sunday Mirror firmly: “It isn’t an engagement ring.”

However she added that their relationship is very serious, saying: “Giovanni makes me happy.

“All that matters is my friends know I’m happy, my family know I’m happy.”

N’aww - how cute are these two?

We guess we’ll wait to buy a hat until they really are engaged.
