After his marriage split from wife Victoria Rose, Danny Cipriani has thrown himself into rehearsals for the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.
The rugby ace will be partnered with professional Jowita Przystal and the pair seem to be having a ball as they grow closer in their new budding friendship.
Jowita, 29, took to her Instagram stories to share a clip of her and Danny, 36, after his inclusion on the show was officially unveiled.
The dancer said: “Hi guys, so it’s official, finally we can share with you that we’re going to dance together on Christmas special this year.
“I’m really excited, are you?,” Jowita asked her new pal Danny in the short clip.
He expressed: “I cannot wait,” as the pro added: “I cannot wait because he’s going to dress up like, guess, guess, guess, guess..”
Jowita jumped in front of the camera as she attempted to create intrigue about what Danny would be dressing up as.
Danny leaned into the camera and said: “She’s a great teacher,” before the pair started dancing in the background.
Jowita also posted on her feed: “I’m so happy to share with you I’m gonna rock around the Christmas tree with this superstar @dannycipriani87.”
Danny gushed in the comments: “You are a phenomenal teacher and person!! Loving it all!! Can’t wait to do the….”
Danny was previously heavily rumoured to be taking part on this year’s I’m A Celebrity, however, the star is said to have pulled out of the show.
The reason was said to be because of his split from Victoria, 42, the Daily Mail reported last week.
The publication reported that Danny was set to cash in a six-figure sum for his stint on the show in Australia.
In August, a source told them: “He will be the hunk of the lineup and already there is talk of him and shower scenes amongst staff working on the programme.
“There is also huge anticipation that he will reveal secrets from his showbiz lifestyle. He has been linked to many women over the years, and his scandals are well documented too so there will be lots for him to share.”
It was reported that revelations made in Danny’s recent autobiography caused his and Victoria’s marriage to break down.
