. . . as Good Morning is terrified of losing Ranvir

- By Katie Hind

GOOD Morning Britain bosses fear that they could lose Ranvir Singh after her successful stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

With her current contract ending in the New Year, Ms Singh, who is political editor for the popular I TV programme, is due to begin contract negotiatio­ns.

Sources on the show fear her heightened popularity will result in her being inundated with other, more lucrative offers. ‘Ranvir is bigger than standing on Downing Street in the rain in the early hours of the morning now,’ said one insider. ‘She has shown her true self on Strictly and is now quite the star.’ Ms Singh, 43, regularly stands in for Good Morning Britain’s main presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid.

Her chemistry with dance partner Giovanni Pernice has fuelled talk of a romance. It intensifie­d following a clip of their performanc­e last week in which he was heard saying: ‘I love you.’ Ms Singh has insisted that romance between the pair is ‘fantasy’.

Friends of Mr Pernice also deny they are in a relationsh­ip, adding: ‘It’s just for TV.’

Last night Craig Revel Horwood described Ms Singh’s Viennese waltz to She Used To Be Mine from musical Waitress as ‘beautiful’, awarding her nine out of ten.

Fellow judges Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse matched his score, giving her 27 out of 30.
