Giovanni left the show this year after he was accused of “bullying” 2023 celeb partner Amanda Abington. He has denied the allegations though – and an investigation into behind the scenes at the show is currently taking place.
Speaking about the scandal, Giovanni’s former flame Tasha told The Sun: “I wasn’t there – I’m here for my own experience on the show. So I’m focusing on myself to just really enjoy it.”
