And tried to have a clean break? And he's been accused of using her and calculatedly casting her aside now the new series is starting in order to increase his profile and chances of winning - (I really think that if he was going to do that, he could have planned it a bit better and done it a month before - why the hell would he do that at the worst time for him too?!) And all of this from people on here who at least once liked him - I hate to think what everyone else says!
He's actually maintained a dignified silence. I feel sorry for him and it's only going to get worse when he's actually seen to be enjoying himself and looking happy on Strictly. Which he undoubtedly will. I might have to hide! Don't get me wrong - I'm as confused and disappointed about what's gone on as the next person and feel so sad that he might have ended it - and so very sorry for Georgia. I don't blame him from not following her on instagram after her comment the other day, to be honest. Irrespective of what's happened between them and who did what - why would he want to watch her saying things like that in public?
As for the supporting each other during the show and since. No-one could have been more proud of her than he was - from his reaction to Craig saying that she could be in a West End show, to his reactions to the jobs she's landed since, to how proud and excited he looked in the periscope when talking about her upcoming work back in TV, and going with her to the Lorraine event etc. And in a personal sense too - getting on with her
family, going to christenings etc. I know she's been HUGELY supportive of him - in all the ways that have already been listed by others - but it's not been a one way street.
I feel very sorry for both of them but feel sad that he's being vilified in this way.”
Totally agree with this Wicks!!
You all know that nobody loves Georgia more than I do but frankly I am dissppointed by some of the comments that have appeared on here about Gio in the last couple of days!!
There is no way on this earth in my opinion that this is all down to Gio switching off his feelings overnight so to speak & I fully support those who are saying his love for her and support for her were absolutely as 100% genuine as we all thought they were & vice versa!!
What I think some of us are losing sight of is the fact that they're 25 & 26, old enough for some to settle down to 'domestic bliss' for life but for a lot more an age where opportunities need to be grabbed with both hands while you're still young enough to enjoy them & sometimes relationships suffer and end because of it!! Given the opportunites being presented to these two then you can multiply that by several times!!
Yes they are both hurting at the moment & both lashing out which is sad to see & one of the curses of social media but in time I do believe they may look back & see what they had & maybe with assistance from mutual friends be able to salvage a bond of friendship!!
In the meantime this is the Georgia AND Giovanni appreciation thread & I would like to hope that we can all take a step back, view the situation for what it is, ie two young kids going through a messy break up, and try and continue our support, love & yes, sympathy for BOTH of them!! As I have said before, whatever has happened recently with Gio we all owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude for rescuing Georgia & giving her back her self belief, her confidence & her sense of worth in the last twelve months & I firmly believe she would not be where she is today without him!!
Sorry for the rant, I'm not getting at individuals but I'm starting to feel a bad vibe on the thread which is why I haven't posted much yesterday or today & felt the need to say something!!
