Strictly Come Dancing’s Tom Fletcher secretly split from wife Giovanna as she dated another man.
Loved up Tom and Giovanna, who are doting parents to their adorable offspring, actually split up for a short period of time, which may come as a surprise to many.
The McFly heartthrob and Strictly favourite briefly broke up with the love of his life.
Meeting when they were just 13 years of age, the couple first crossed paths when they both attended Sylvia Young Theatre School.
Their first meeting was when Giovanna sat next to Tom in an assembly at the stage school, but they didn’t make it official until several years later in 2003. Things first got serious when they were 18.

At 19, Tom wrote his love a song for Giovanna on Valentine’s Day – which became All About You, and went on to become a massive hit for his band McFly.
During the early days of their teen romance, the pair went through a little-known rocky patch, which actually saw them break it off for a short while. Giovanna even started dating another man.
Breaking it off for 14 months, Giovanna soon realised that Tom was the love of her life.

Earlier this year, Giovanna spoke to Heat magazine, where she opened up about their rough patch.
“There was just something about him,” she said.
“I had a boyfriend for the 14 months we weren’t together, but Tom was always there. We never left each other alone really…
“When I met the McFly boys for the first time, Dougie [Poynter] said to me: ‘He literally talks about you non-stop.’
“And I remember being in Namibia [doing charity work] and thinking about Tom more than I did my boyfriend.”

After getting back from the trip, Giovanna ended things with her boyfriend and got back with Tom – who she couldn’t stop thinking about.
Speaking to Hello! magazine, Giovanna opened up even further: “When we met we only went out for two days, then we had the whole teen drama stuff, ‘I love you, no I don’t’, then he snogged all of my mates in the way that teenagers do!”
She added: “The feeling of knowing what’s important and not getting lost in the ‘fluff’ was really what kept us so strong together.”
Tom and Giovanna tied the knot in 2012, with the couple now sharing three children – Buzz, Buddy and Max.
