The incredible transformation post comes after Giovanni put on a very loved-up display with his girlfriend Bianca Guaccero as they enjoyed a trip to the beach during their holiday in Barbados.
The TV personality shared a kiss with the Italian actress, 44, as they enjoyed their day at the Caribbean island’s iconic Sandy Lane Hotel.
The couple were the winning pair on the Italian version of the BBC show, Ballando con le Stelle, and Giovanni gushed that Bianca ‘was exactly what he needed’ following the bombshell allegations made by Amanda Abbington.
And after revealing his ‘world collapsed’ when his friends abandoned him following the allegations, Giovanni explained how Bianca was ‘very supportive’.
He told Heat magazine: ‘She came into my life during not the greatest time, so I needed some security.
Giovanni revealed the pair have had to make ‘sacrifices’ to ‘make their relationship work’ as Bianca is currently busy working in Italy, where she is based, while the dancer prepares to tour the UK for the next seven months.
In April, it was revealed that Giovanni will not be returning to Strictly Come Dancing despite hinting at a comeback and the findings of the BBC’s misconduct report into his behaviour.
Revealing the cast of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, which will air in August, Giovanni was notably absent from the list.

In April, it was revealed that Giovanni will not be returning to Strictly Come Dancing despite hinting at a comeback and the findings of the BBC’s misconduct report into his behaviour over the Amanda Abbington bullying row (both pictured on the show in 2023)

Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk and Jowita Przysta are among those returning to the dance floor this September.
They will be joined by Johannes Radebe, Aljaž Škorjanec, Nancy Xu, Lauren Oakley, Michelle Tsiakkas and Vito Coppola, who will all take to the floor once more alongside two new stars.
Carlos Gu and Kai Widdrington will be returning after not appearing in the 2024 edition.
In July last year, more than six months after Amanda quit Strictly, citing ‘personal reasons’, the actress accused Giovanni of ‘unnecessary, cruel and mean behaviour’ during their time dancing together on Strictly.
Giovanni rejected the claims immediately, and a BBC investigation ruled in September that her claims of physical aggression and threatening behaviour were not upheld.
Complaints of verbal bullying and harassment meant the BBC issued an apology, but Giovanni said he was ‘pleased the report has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour’.
Now officially cleared by the investigation, Giovanni has returned to the spotlight – currently dancing on the Italian version of Strictly and touring with close friend and fellow Strictly star Anton Du Beke, 58.
