MailOnline has contacted Joanna and Giovanni for comment.
Giovanni recently discussed his split from Ashley in January after two years together on Joanna’s radio show.

The professional dancer described himself as ‘single and ready to mingle’.
Of how he plans to date, he claimed he wouldn’t use dating apps as he said: ‘I want to meet the person and see if there is a connection. Obviously you have to fancy the person.’
And when asked about his famous exes Georgia May Foote and TOWIE’s Jessica Wright, he added: ‘I think I just had girlfriends. I didn’t think that they were famous. When you’re in love or when you’re in a relationship, you don’t think about the fact they are famous.

‘You can fall in love with the person who works in Tesco. It just happens. You can’t choose who, you just fall in love.’
Joanna, meanwhile, rose to fame on Love Island and had an ill-fated romance with fellow contestant Michael Griffiths.
The reality star recently spoke to fellow Love Island alum Montana Brown about how the show should create a new series with all the old single contestants still looking for love.
She said on FUBAR Radio earlier this month: ‘I think they should get all previous Love Islanders who haven’t yet got a partner, us two, and they should put us on it and see how we get on.
‘I’m up for it. If I did that again, I reckon I would maybe embrace it a bit more and be like, “this could be my husband”.’
