He tweeted: “@ImAshleyRoberts and I have made the decision to separate as a couple. We remain friends and wish each other well for the future.”

Prior to dating Ashley, Giovanni was linked to Strictly’s Luba Mushtuk after the Russian native shared a snap of themselves dancing and branding her co-star “my man.”
