    STRICTLY COME DANCING'S Giovanni Pernice cutely referred to Georgia May Foote as his "amore", when he wished her a happy 25th birthday this afternoon.   The dancer took to Instagram to post a steamy kissing snap of the pair, who met when they were partnered up for the BBC One dancing show last year.
