Giovanni Pernice desperately tried to woo Emily Atack during a raucous BRITs after party. The Italian hunk, 31, whose exes include Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, 40, and Love Island's Maura Higgins, 31, was seen gently caressing the Inbetweeners star's face and holding her hand while trying to seduce her at London nightclub The Box. Emily, 32, was enjoying the attention, which happened in full view of Giovanni's Strictly co-stars, plus her pal Laura Whitmore, 36, at the music ceremony's most debauched bash.
A partygoer told MailOnline: 'Giovanni set his sights on Emily from the get-go. He made a beeline for her and was very persistent. 'He held her hands and waist and during one intimate moment caressed her face, before the pair left the club to have a cigarette together.
'Protective Giovanni helped Emily to keep her balance in her long dress and heels as she walked towards the curtained exit. 'After rejoining the party, Emily looked happy to be close to Giovanni but was also conscious not to overdo it in front of his Strictly co-stars. 'MailOnline has contacted Emily and Giovanni's representatives for comment.
The TV comic, who wore a sultry Stella McCartney gown, partied at London's The Box, known for its risqué performances, until gone 3am. Emily was constantly eyed up by different men, who were keen to get her attention as she enjoyed her night. She was joined by Love Island host Laura and her husband Iain Sterling, who took a night off from parenting duties to let their hair down at the Soho haunt, as well as presenter Maya Jama, and Strictly's Oti Mabuse, Graziano di Prima, and AJ Odudu.
