Georgia May Foote has brushed off claims that she was worried about her ex-boyfriend Giovanni Pernice being paired up with her friend Laura Whitmore for this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The pair, who got together after being dancing partners on last year's show, split last month and yesterday it was reported that the actress has "fears" about him getting so close to her pal.

A source told The Sun: "Georgia knows just how intimately the couples have to dance and is terrified that Giovanni might hook up with Laura.

"She is devastated that they are no longer together and struggling with the thought of Gio getting up close and personal with a friend of hers."

However, Georgia took to Twitter during the launch of the BBC show on Saturday night to rubbish the claims and wished the duo the best of luck.

She wrote: "[I] would just like to wish @thewhitmore and @pernicegiovann1 good luck.

"Please do not believe the c**p you read! She's a beautiful person."

She added: "@thewhitmore and has all my support! Good luck."

Georgia and Givovanni's split was confirmed on Twitter in August with busy work schedules to blame.
