I think we'll all have different thoughts Sandy and we probably will never know for sure what is the true story. Persoally, I just can't think its work related. For someone who has been so totally in love with him, constantly posting and liking GG stuff right up until the day before they split, including taking such an active interest in SCD and the whole crowd, and put so much into the relationship - from learning Italian, to cooking and hosting things for his friends, to travelling the country to be with him, and it can't have been easy staying at home for weekends while he was dancing away with his partner. It was clear how much she missed him when he was away but she still managed it. Pashas girlfriend has said how difficult it is. She talked about nothing else than seeing a future with him. I just feel that having seen how much of herself shes put into this relationship, that It just doesn't add up for me that someone who has been prepared to do all this and has mentioned about accepting they have work commitments and will work round it, would suddenly give up on it because of her work. It does happen often, but it doesn't fit with how she has behaved in this relationship (at least the way I've viewed how shes behaved in the relationship). I just hope that they both are back on their feet quickly. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to start a new project so soon after this bombshell and how emotional they must be feelinng

On a positive note, Lovely to see so many old and friendly faces here again

Ive been so excited to get strictly back on our screens and really looking forward thinking we'd be seeing georgia in the audience supporting gio now and again and being possibly involved in the behind the scenes that this has just conpletely flattened my excitement , i actually dont know if i want to watch now!!!! 😰 It doesnt feel the same in fact i've just deleted the strictlys i'd kept from last year off my planner as it wont be same watching them dance now the fairytale's over! Feel proper gutted about this! Shame its had to happen so close to the start of the new show its a bit of a dampner and i'll be devo'd if gio gets paired with one of the young girls now! Such a shame 😰 X

New Instagram from Georgia who is at a friend's christening. She's also tweeted this.

Hi Sandy & Penny, I also think Georgia ended it and it may be partly work related but I've got other thoughts on it too.

From her new post on instagram and Twitter she mustve been heading home this weekend anyway to a christening?! 🤔 So will she stay or head back to london? I thought she'd gone home cos of split! X

Yes I know she obviously loves him to bits but on the other hand she has said she would go anywhere in the World if the work was there !
Georgia is very ambitious and i would imagine her career is very, very important to her - good on her as that is how it should be.

We also know that Gio likes her with him at all times. we all witnessed the Grimsby conversation - and he very much liked the idea of them doing a tour together.
She has travelled with him all over the place this year - not to mention the cruise (Sorry star) - and that seems to make him very happy.
We know she rushed back from Bristol to be with him every weekend too.

I suspect some offer was made or Georgia auditioned for some part which would mean they would be apart for a very long time next year - Gio would not be the first man who expected his partner to put him before her work would he ?
Perhaps Georgia was forced make a choice.

This could be rubbish obviously we don't know but working in this field vaguely and having an actress daughter I know that these career decisions are relationship breakers.
My daughter turned down work at Xmas - the only time when most actors are employed so that she could spend the festive season with her partner because he refused to travel to where she could have been performing once again - to be fair he did one Xmas in Scunthorpe in the early days so he deserved Brownie points for that (Sorry anyone who lives in Scunthorpe - but it would not be your first choice destination)
I don't think when the dates of Rocky Horror were fully realised that would have gone down a storm in the GG household either.

I suppose now it depends whether one or both of them just can't stand being apart - because one of them would have to compromise to sort themselves out - they have been joined at the hip for months so I don't know how they are going to live through the next few weeks without being very lonely and unhappy - the timing couldn't be worse for either of them.

Well done Georgia for not trashing her instagram in retaliation - very wise.

I will PM you x

Yes Lozzer it's definitely took the shine off it for me that's for sure.
It's took the shine off going to see BAT in Sheffield too. I'm heartbroken for them

She doesn't seem sad or is she showing Gio what he is missing. More confusion 😥

Also if that's her ring hand no ring.

Is it just wishful thinking in hoping that this might suggest that the split was quite an amicable one as was suggested in the original message tweeted on Georgia's account?

Hi Claire, I feel just as bad as i thought I would if they split up
It feels like mourning a death.

Little did we all know just how lucky you were at the time to see GG in Grimsby. What a fabulous and unique experience you've had. I'm so glad you waited for a photo even though you had to wait in the rain it was worth it.

She is right-handed isn't she, so not the ring hand - but I guess we will have to face that soon - don't tell Brian !

Otherwise good girl Georgia - looking great !

He is still following her on instagram is he ?

I wonder if she unfriended Gio because he deleted the photos and tweets?

Yeh I have just checked and Gio is still following Georgia on Instagram

Yes Gio is still following Georgia on Instagram.

Sorry Kat you beat me to it.

Probably Grans don't mess about !

It is wishful thinking - but very nice that you think so !

I think she is very ambitious but the way she has spoken about Giovanni and her future, the way shes behaved in the relationship in terms of what shes been willing to give up and put into the relationship, shes literally put Giovanni as well as his friends at the centre of her life... the way shes spoken of work committments and how you just have to work round them if you love someone....I just don't see her having done so much to just decide to split because of a work contract - let alone saying shes gutted about it and always thought they'd be together after it. I can understand the Rocky show might have been disappointing in terms of time apart, but it works both ways - 6 months of Giovannis life will be completely dedicated to SCD and so many weekends away for the rest of the year...I think they were prepared to accept this - they knew their work commitments when they got together...I can see your point of view, but It just doesn't fit for me.

As I've said, if shes been willing to sit at home for many weekends while hes been away dancing, put so much effort into hosting and fitting in with his friends and life, including learning Italian etc, I think she'd be prepared to work through career choices without giving it all up so instantly. Giovanni has been on his own travelling by himself all his life, moved to another city at 14, is very sociable and loves the whole SCD experience, let alone having to put so many hours into it....I think he could cope with being apart as much as Georgia could work round work commitments. If everything is good in their relationship, and they love each other, they'd make the distance, work commitments etc work. Thats how I feel anyway. Given their feelings for each other, I can't help but think it must be somthing deeper, something that makes them feel its not going to work for them long term despite their feelings for each other. Perhaps just differences in what they expect from each other in a relationship or something like that, who knows. I just feel given their investment and feelings, it has to be something more fundamental to their relationship than time apart or career choices, but of course I could be very wrong! We're probably never going to agree on our gut feelings and we'll probably never know the ins and outs of it ever. It is hard not knowing

As a side-note I spent the first 3 years of my relationship with my boyfriend (hes Greek) only seeing him for a week every 6 weeks until we decided which country we could live in, and went through 3 countries before settling down. It wasn't easy but we knew we loved each other enough to see it through. Of course I'm not suggesting that kind of situation would be acceptable to everyone, but I do think if peoples feelings are strong enough they can work through career choices, and i do feel Georgias feelings for Gio were strong enough.

Maybe Giovannis agent told them to split or Giovanni just wants to focus on strictly.
Georgia has expressed more about their breakup than him also him deleting all the pictures

Yes you are probably right - I just find it hard to understand how after being so full on and so much together they can decide to split just like that !
It cant be a commitment issue because they have both committed completely.
Something must have happened to make them come to this decision - so suddenly and neither of them seemed happy.
If you have decided to split and just remain friends do you start a mad deleting session at midnight ?

No she doesn't look saad but she is an actress so who knows.

I vowed to stay away from here for a while to give my poor heart and head a rest but I just can't resist checking in!!

This has little clip made me smile (not much mind) because I am sat here weeping about GG yet the actual lady involved in the break up has put on her best dress and lippy and is getting on with things the best way she knows how!!

I doubt she is wearing her ring now that she has made that official statement
That's another thing, I only thought Brian would be retired as Chief ring analyser when a certain date was announced not because of this - boo hoo

Aww I wonder how Gio is coping. I would love to know how he is feeling right now.

I have just come in and read this devastating news I just can not believe it, they seemed so very happy together. They have given us all so much joy in the past year,in Strictly and together afterwards, if ever a couple were seemingly together they were , thin my heart is broken. Well Brian no more rings to analyse and I wonder if she gave him the two rings back, one of the reasons I think its Georgia at the bottom of this is because it has always been Gio who seemed the one who cared the most.so sad

Just that she had an exciting announcement this week

Absolutely !
