Flirty games

Roman's breakfast show co-hosts Sonny Jay and Siân Welby joined them for the night's festivities. Reportedly, Maura was flirty on the same night that the Love Island star's ex Giovanni Pernice kissed Emily Atack. An onlooker confirmed to The Sun:

Everyone was talking about how Maura and Roman were flirting and all over each other during the bash. They were dancing together and laughing a lot, they seemed to be glued to each other's sides all night.
Maura has been unlucky in love lately, but hanging out with Roman seemed to put a smile back on her face.

A representative for Roman told MailOnline that Roman and Maura are just friends. However, Maura’s spokesperson has denied any comment on the incident. On the night, Roman turned to Instagram to share a photo of himself holding a drink while dressed in a white waistcoat and stylish slacks. Meanwhile, Maura flaunted her abs in a black and white co-ord consisting of a cropped top and a side-split mini-skirt. The reality star sat in the back of a white Rolls Royce as she arrived at the Oscars in style.

Ex ‘Atack’

According to MailOnline, Giovanni Pernice desperately sought to woo her by gently caressing her face and holding her hand while partying together. The dancer was unable to attend the BRIT Awards event but travelled from Glasgow to the swanky nightclub to join Emily and other celebrity pals. A source confirmed:

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.

Giovanni and Maura called it quits last year after four months of dating and Giovanni stated there was no wrongdoing on either side.
