His walk with the mystery woman comes after Giovanni reportedly broke away from fellow Strictly Professional Jowita Przystal due to their “hectic work schedules.”

Giovanni and Jowita’s reported split came just days after the Italian dancer appeared to confirm his romance with Jowita during an interview mistake, where he referred to them as “we.”

Despite trying to say he wouldn’t discuss the romance rumors, Giovanni inadvertently referred to himself and Jowita by saying, “We’re not talking about anything.”

Sources reportedly confirmed the split to The Sun, sharing, “As time went on, they found it more and more difficult to build on their relationship due to their hectic work schedules.

“Giovanni is on tour for the next five months and it has proved absolutely impossible to make time for each other.”

They continued that things are civilized, adding, “Although their relationship has ended, Giovanni and Jowita said they will remain good friends. It’s just a pity they didn’t manage to do it.’

Reports of a relationship between the pair began circulating in December, saying the pair were the “worst kept secret” at the BBC, and were even said to have kissed backstage at Strictly.

His last relationship was with Love Island star Maura Higgins who he split from in October 2021 – before enjoying a thong on dates with Made In Chelsea star Verity Bowditch.

In the 2022 Strictly series, Hamza Yassin and Jowita won the Glitterball Trophy as they were crowned winners.
