Giovanni, 32, seemed to be enjoying the company of several women as he relaxed and revelled in the atmosphere at the longstanding showbiz bash.

The dancer previously ended his relationship with Maura, 31, at the start of October of 2021 because he wasn’t yet ready to settle down. 

At the time, The Sun revealed that Maura was left blindsided by the split and was “utterly heartbroken”.

A source said: “Maura didn’t see this coming and is finding it very difficult to come to terms with. She genuinely thought Gio was The One.”

However, she is now rumoured to be very much moving on as she was spotted smooching a new beau.

The former Love Island star was seen in what seemed to be a more steamy setting with Joey Essex.

The brunette bombshell and former TOWIE star were spotted sharing an intimate smooch as they left London’s Grosvenor House Hotel together last night.

Joey beamed as he left the venue, looking dapper in a tailored black suit and bold red tie.

Whilst earlier on in the night Maura sizzled on the red carpet in a dramatic sleeveless yellow ballgown.

As they prepared to leave, the former I’m A Celeb campmate held Maura tightly, as se seemed unbothered of those watching around him.

The pair swiftly departed the swanky venue together as they got into in same cab.

Meanwhile the hunk took a break from his rigorous training for the upcoming season of Dancing On Ice, in order to attend last nights ceremony.

The reality star is preparing to take to the rink to compete in the skating competition alongside the likes of Love Island winner Ekin-Su.

And although he massively injured himself in his preparations, he took to Instagram to reveal he is recovering well.
