Georgia May Foote is reportedly worried Strictly Come Dancing bosses will pair her ex Giovanni Pernice with Laura Whitmore on the show.

Former Coronation Street actress Georgia thinks producers are keen to spark a romance between television presenter Laura and professional dancer Giovanni.

Georgia announce she had split from Giovanni at the end of last month, leaving him free and single for a potential relationship to blossom on the new series.

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 Giovanni getting up close and personal with a friend of hers."

Georgia previously admitted she’d find it difficult to watch Giovanni dancing with anyone on the show, not just her pal Laura.

She recently said: "Of course I’ll get jealous. Whoever Giovanni gets is a very lucky girl. He’s a great teacher.

"I’m excited for whoever he gets and, yeah, he’s a great teacher, so I’m happy for him. I think it’s fine."

Georgia opened up about the couple’s split on Twitter after they decided to go their separate ways and admitted she was finding it tough.

She wrote: "It is with great sadness we have decided to split up.

"There is nobody else involved. Although it was not an easy decision to make, sometimes you realise that it is better to be friends and this is one of those times.

"We both have very busy work schedules for the rest of the year so we are both going to focus on our upcoming work projects and we wish each other well for the future."
