Is anyone else getting tired Georgia and Giovanni's attention seeking?

And I speak as someone who liked Georgia during the series, but after months of them insisting they were not romantically involved they suddenly get together and embark on a campaign of obviously staged paparazzi shots. Now we have an Instagram shot of them kissing which has naturally made made the press. Part of me wonders if they really are together or if its a PR exercise for both of them? Either way it's getting on my wick now, and having seen the tour their dances don't translate at all well to an arena.

I also feel a bit sorry for her ex boyfriend who she dumped for Gio. Can't be nice to have this rammed down his throat.

I don't read any of the red tops or gossip mags so don't see anything about them, apart from the occasional clip or photo on here. Doesn't bother me!

In answer to your question - YES!

They've made efforts to make themselves seem more interesting, but instead, IMO they have become boring. So, so boring. I don't click on their stories ... just tired of seeing their faces in the papers. Just another publicity thirsty couple ... tedious.

Yes, I am pig sick of them. My MIL saw them in Sheffield recently, and they were posing up for the cameras, sliming all over each other. Ordinary couples just walk down the street together, (well most of them do), not hugging and kissing and shoving their tongues down each other's throat as they were doing. It was all put on for attention.

Anyone would think they are the only couple in the tour. They get 95% of all the media coverage. It is sickening actually.

I went to see the matinée performance on the tour last Saturday and team GG went on first. Their charleston didn't translate well on the temporary stage I felt, unlike the dances by Helen & Aljâz and Jay & Aliona.

I did wonder myself if their relationship was for real when all the tabloid rumours were going about and yes I too feel sorry for her ex boyfriend, Sean Ward; especially when he turned up to see her dance during the live shows last year and also contributing to the VT for family & friends that they do for the finalists'. However, they weren't together for terribly long and Strictly can be a testing ground for relationships.

Perhaps, she wanted a change and doing a show like Strictly for her came at the right opportunity; coming at the end of her contract on Corrie for playing Katy Anderson, the girlfriend of Chesney Battersley-Brown (I think that's the name of his character ) Let's hope she puts her time on Strictly to good use.

I didn't even know about what they're up to until I came on here. So unless you are following them on instagram or happen to come across the odd DM/Mirror article, news of them is very easy to avoid!

Ditto, I seen odd things in the Mail but I had not noticed many pictures of them together except routine ones of arriving and leaving places. I must be be reading the wrong tabloids!

I'm just tired of stories talking about seeing Georgia & Giovanni or Jay & Aliona exiting a building. Is it really that interesting? If I exit a building with someone else no one makes a fuss. Are they that desperate for stories?

It's true that G&G's routines don't translate well to an arena setting, that's despite me loving the Charleston the first time they did it on the show. Certianly when you compare them to say Anita and Gleb, who raised the roof with both of their dances. I also detected a hint of smugness from the both, which is very off putting. They are certainly not the first Strictly love story, and I doubt they'll be the last.

Anyway, I give it six months tops.

Whats 'bitter' about wanting someone to keep their relationship private?

Who knows, I've seen pics with Gio giving Craig a hug in a cafe of Birmingham, but I doubt that it will appear on the front page of Daily Mail
I wouldn't mind G&G PR if the actual stars of Stricly tour (A&G J&A) received as much attention.

Totally agree with you. When we pass negative comments on their relationship, her fans will accuse us of being bitter and jealous.

I don't read them, all the headlines are just saying things like ‘Georgia spotted leaving hotel with Giovanni' and ‘Jay and Aliona seen walking together' and it just seems a bit pointless to me.

I saw the tour in Liverpool and I have to say I felt the crowd reaction to them was very muted for both of their dances.

I still feel Sean Ward was been hugely mugged off by her especially as he was so supportive publically. I know the fans will say "well, she was single when she got with Giovanni" blah blah blah but the crossover period was incredibly short and she does now seem to be rubbing his nose in it big time with the staged photos, talking about moving in together and how they've been together every day for six months (for most of which, she did have a different boyfriend!)

No way it will last and she is going to end up looking very foolish indeed. Silly girl.

Once strictly finished last year, I can't say I've seen anything, or heard of anything, to do with G&G - apart from on DS!

Yes, I saw it in Manchester and the reaction was exactly the same there. This is despite Georgia being the local girl as well.

I've got to say that I think Giovanni comes across as being a bit of a knob. Very good dancer, but there is something about him that grates on me and I can't figure it out what it is,
