It's the death knell for any celeb couple ... the dreaded unfollowing on social media. So when Giovanni Pernice and Molly Brown also deleted all photos of the pair together, the writing was on the wall.

On Wednesday sources said the duo split after two months. The Strictly professional dancer, 33, was first linked to model Molly, 24, in January. The couple posted a snap of themselves, adding: "Amore mio." Giovanni admitted on the Mirror's Invite Only podcast last week that he was "off the market".

But an insider revealed: "Things between Molly and Giovanni initially were going really well. But in the last week or two it’s gone wrong. The two of them had a series of bust-ups and decided a few days ago to call it quits. The fact they've completely erased each other from social media is obviously telling. It doesn't look like there's any way back for their relationship."

Giovanni, from Sicily, was seen on a night out with pals shortly after the break-up. He joined his friends including TOWIE's James Lock, 37, at Sheesh restaurant in Mayfair, Central London. Giovanni had a cigarette and hugged a mate outside the venue.

Back in February, a source told The Mirror: "Giovanni and Molly met a few weeks ago, and though it is very early days, things seem to be going well between them. He has been keeping things quiet because he didn't want too much pressure on as they're getting to know each other."

The source added at that time: "But the signs so far seem to be positive and he has let a few of his friends in on the secret." They concluded by teasing at a potential future for the pair, saying: "It's very much a case of watch this space."

The pair went "Instagram official" that month and Molly's followers congratulated the new couple after she shared their loved-up snap at the time, with one writing: "Wishing you much happiness and laughter." Another said: "Gorgeous couple." Whilst a third wrote alongside a heart emoji: "You look beautiful together, be happy."

The photo showed Giovanni and Molly posing whilst sat at a table in a restaurant together. The former was seen wearing a white t-shirt and a black jacket, whilst Molly opted to model a black t-shirt and a coordinated blazer on top.

The dancer has dated other stars including Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, 42, Love Island's Maura Higgins, 33, and Strictly dancer Jowita Przystal, 29. He is appearing in BBC show Anton and Giovanni's Adventures in Spain alongside pal and Strictly judge Anton Du Beke, 57. Giovanni is expected to return to Strictly this year.
