Wreck on dancefloor, says babe ‘STRICTLY’S SCARIER THAN POSING NAKED’
Model fella for Foote Greg’s girl wants him to beat the bulge
SUSAN HILL GEORGIA May Foote is loved up with a hunky male model following her split from Strictly hunk Giovanni Pernice.
The former Corrie star was heartbroken when the dancer ended their relationship in August.
But the Daily Star Sunday can exclusively reveal she has been on several dates with George Alford who, like her, works for Select Model Management in London.
A source close to Southend-born George told the Daily Star Sunday: “George fancies the pants off Georgia.
“They met at the offices of their agency and have been meeting up as much as they can around her hectic work schedule.
“They’re really enjoying each other’s company. “He thinks she’s really hot and they’re having a lot of fun together.”
Georgia admitted she was having a “hard time” following her split with Gio, 26.
Things got worse when the Italian dancer was partnered with her friend, TV presenter Laura Whitmore, 31.
The Strictly rumour mill went into overdrive when Georgia unfollowed Laura on Instagram because she could not bear to see pictures of the blonde with her ex.
But since she started seeing George, Georgia is said to be smiling and laughing again.
Our source added: “Georgia is starring in Breakfast At Tiffany’s, which takes up a lot of her time, but she’s seeing George whenever she is free.
“He makes her laugh and keeps her on her toes, which she really likes.
“George is just what she needs right now.
“He’s a genuinely nice guy who has helped put the smile back on her face.” GREG Rutherford says girlfriend Susie Verrill, pictured, convinced him to go on Strictly to stop him getting fat.
The current World and former Olympic long jump champion usually piles on the pounds in the off-season.
But he signed up to the contest because Susie didn’t want him to become a “lazy slob”.
Greg joked: “Susie is a SEXY Daisy Lowe says stripping naked for raunchy pictures is less nerve-racking than Strictly.
The gorgeous model, 27, admits she is often crippled with nerves before shows.
Last night she danced a raunchy rumba to Careless Whisper with professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec.
But when asked whether dancing on the show was more scary than modelling in the buff, Daisy said: “This is so much more nerve-racking.”
She explained: “At least on photoshoots you are in one room with one camera and it feels intimate.
“I don’t think of it as though anyone will ever actually get to see it – it’s just me and the photographer.
“This is the most nerveracking thing I’ve ever put myself through. I’m a big bag of nerves – and a clumsy one at that.
“We keep head-butting each other. I’ve been the most massive fan of the show and really wanted me to do it. “Not only does she love watching me but it’s stopped me putting on weight. I normally pile it on when I’m not training because I turn into a bit of a lazy slob. Because of Strictly I’m in as good a shape as ever.”
Greg, 29, is one of Strictly’s SUSAN HILL terrified of all the weeks this week, especially with people going home – it feels very real.”
Daisy, who has posed naked for Playboy and done scores of racy photoshoots, said winning the competition would be a dream come true.
She said: “I feel so honoured and privileged to be a part of the team this year and I love learning how to dance so much.
“I would hope my love of it would keep me going for as long as people will have me.
“As for winning, I’m just trying to get by week-by-week. I’m a bag of nerves as it is. I thought we were going home last week.”
She added: “God, it would be a life dream come true to win Strictly, but I’m not putting that much pressure on myself.”
The beauty also revealed she and her fellow Strictly celebs have been supporting singer Will Young after he quit the hit dark horses after making huge strides with his dance partner Natalie Lowe, 36. He hopes the contest can help him retain his title in the long jump at the World Championships, which take place in London next year.
Greg, who won bronze at this year’s Rio Olympics, said: “I’m still disappointed I didn’t win.
“But next year is a new year BBC One show. Daisy said: “We are all gutted because we all love him, but we completely respect and support his decision and wish him all the best.
“We are all heartbroken. With the eliminations it is so sad because we feel like a family and get on so well.”
She added: “We only get to see each other in what we call the ‘Strictly bubble’ on Fridays and Saturdays. He will be missed, along with everyone who gets eliminated.
“We all have WhatsApp Chat and have said we love and support him. He has responded and we all keep in touch. We all get on so well.
“He messaged us back and said he’s so excited to watch us dance on Saturday night. He’s a gorgeous man.”
Daisy also revealed that ex-shadow Home Secretary Ed Balls put a smile on her face.
She added: “I love Ed, he’s just so much fun and I love how much he just goes for it and is completely fearless with his conviction. He’s such a laugh.”
Strictly’s results show is on BBC One tonight at 7.15pm. and who knows, all this dance training may actually help me to jump further. “It will certainly be easier to get back into training after this.”
Greg also dismissed claims Susie was jealous of his partnership with Natalie.
Chatting at the Attitude Magazine Awards, Greg said: “Susie loves Natalie more than me. Of anyone, I should be the jealous one.”
