A friend of Jess confirmed they were dating, telling The Sun Online: "They've been on a few dates, but it's early days.

"They met through her brother Mark's Strictly connections from when he was on the show and they're getting to know each other."

However the Sun exclusively revealed on April 25, 2018, that the pair had split after Giovanni 'struggled' with Jess' popularity.

A source close to Gio said: “He was really into Jess and did want to make a go of it, but he struggled with the attention she gets and her popularity.

“They’ve tried to keep things amicable and told people they have both agreed to go their separate ways, but he was the one who first suggested things were going to end.

“She has been really upset by this. It’s a real shame but hopefully things will stay civil.”
