Giovanni has clearly decided to keep his social media as work-related as possible. Understandable, given the pressures of the next few months. He has left the Strictly photos with Georgia and a group photo with friends, so she is not 'wiped out'. But he doesn't want a public record of his former romance on there, with feelings laid bare for all to see, and I can respect that. Social media unfollowings are a clear sign (from him at least) that any correspondence between them has to be private and not part of a media feeding frenzy for everybody else.

Interestingly, Sean Ward left the photos of Georgia on his social media hanging around for weeks before deleting them - in a rather spiteful way that gained headlines as I recall. He could have just quietly removed them at the end of the relationship, as Georgia did, but I remember thinking at the time that he left them there so he looked like the 'injured party'. So, you can draw all kinds of conclusions from this, and they may or may not be right.

People handle break ups differently, the same way we grieve differently. The thing I would find unforgivable at this point would be an unsavoury kiss and tell confessional in the tabloids.

So much for taking a step back, I will have to try harder... ”

Given when Gio deleted the photographs of Georgia it was pretty clear he was very cross and hurt.

We simply don't know any details and probably never will so I guess the time has come to just accept they are no longer a couple and let them get on with it without taking sides.
I still live in hope that they sort themselves out.

I will be cross with him if he doesn't manage to act appropriately in the Launch Show that was recorded yesterday- especially as a lot of people out there will be very critical of him which is more than likely totally undeserved.
But he will have his 'show face' on so I must accept that.

Georgia will get a lot of criticism if she is seen with another guy in the near future - so I hope she resists all offers however tempting for a time.
Although I can quite see the delight in showing your ex that you are very much desired by one and all - I hope she doesn't.

Anyway back to supporting both as I have my own ideas about what went on which very oddly collaw spelled out too late last night - neither are really to blame, just really bad timing, circumstances, career ambition and a lot of hurt male pride.

I agree. It can't help her to be constantly seeing what he's up to on social media (though she still will to a degree given all the other people that she follows) and it can't help him to see her digs on social media (never love a wild one, etc). Best they take a step back, but who knows what turmoil they are both going through

But I just think that as Georgia made a lot of effort in the relationship herself (moved from Manchester to London, attended almost all events with him, learning Italian, and always praised him to the hilt on social media and in interviews) and seemingly still adored him a couple of days before the split with the 'favourite human being' picture - I just find deleting the memories of their time together so quickly to be rather harsh and not nice for Georgia to see perhaps. Of course, not all of the memories are erased, he kept some of the Maldives holiday snaps - the ones of him topless on the beach are still there! It's understandable that he perhaps wanted to keep professional but the timing seemed rather cutthroat to me.
As you say though Daisy, different conclusions can be drawn from it.”

I noticed that his 'professionalism' didn't stretch to removing the photographs of himself in the Maldives taken by Georgia

Sandy, I'm not sure he will satisfy you by 'acting appropriately' in the launch show as he will have a show face on but even more than that, irrespective of what else is going on, he will have put that aside and be excited and enjoying it. For him to look muted or maudlin in any way would be as totally inappropriate as Georgia being half hearted in BAT. I bet he had a ball. And then went home and cried into his cocoa!! Brace yourself! Ha ha

I know - but to be honest I was thinking more of how he reacted to being paired up with his new partner whoever that might be rather than group dancing !

I agree, it's not necessarily indicative of his feelings - it's just the act in itself seemed rather cutthroat to me, but as you say there are different viewpoints.

Of course he has to show excitement and pleasure when his new pairing is announced, it would look bloody daft if he didn't and he wouldn't be doing his job. Do I expect it to be as over the top as last years pairing? No I don't. Somewhere in between I think.

It's strange that she's liked that tweet as she wasn't tagged in it - she would have to search for Gio's name to find it, to then like it.

As we said you don't have to be following someone to checkout their twitter

Yeah exactly, poor girl. Hope she moves on. I have a feeling that he'll be the one to regret this, not her. If he doesn't have a good season on Strictly who's to say his contract will be renewed.

No the BBC will love it - however it might affect his chances of winning the glitter ball trophy !

just my thought”

Didn't Georgia say in their last Periscope that she was very keen to go to Sicily and was begging Gio for them both to go there? I am sure they could have squeezed in a week there before Georgia started in Trollied.

Hmmm......I'm not sure about that. I have begun to wonder whether Gio hasn't become a leetle bit thoughtless and self absorbed the way in the he revels in all the attention he is getting. His Insta for this year is now just mostly full of pictures of himself. You can't say it's only for professional purposes since he's kept the holiday photos taken in the Maldives - by Georgia! Most of the tweets he likes are ones telling him how wonderful he is and praising his adorable snake hips. I still love him in a way and think he's a great dancer but I'm sorry to say I feel rather cynical about him now. Maybe I'm being desperately unfair but it's just an impression I get. Anyway, having said that I hope this whole business doesn't turn into a slanging match in the tabloids or trashy magazines.

Edit Wasn't his contract for two years Sandy?

Georgia mentioned wanting to go on holiday several times,

... Natalie told a Q&A audience that they had all been given two year contracts this year.

I do feel his popularity may drop a bit as I think a lot of people who liked him did so because they had bought into his romance with Georgia plus all of her fans would have liked him but maybe not so much now!

Gio seems a bit self absorbed to me but that maybe is because he has given a lot up to become a professional dancer. For all he is close to his family he doesn't see them very often - I know he has been busy but I'm sure he could have fit more than 2 day visit into his schedule. If he is like this with his family then maybe that's why he finds it easy to cut his girlfriend of 8 months out of his life like she has not happened.

I could almost think he might be doing it because it's Strictly related stuff, but consider the amount of Strictly GG related stuff, videos and photos of them both etc. that have been sent to them on Twitter over the past few months - we were just mentioning the other week how Georgia was always 'liking', retweeting and replying to so many of these tweets, whereas I can't remember Giovanni really interacting with any sort of GG stuff that has been sent to them in recent months ...

I know I sound nasty but I hope he's one of the first ones out! I feel like he's used Georgia to get himself established & then dumped her when she's no longer required.
