Giovanni and Faye competed in the 16th series of Strictly
Both Faye and Giovanni competed in the 16th series of Strictly and made it into the final against Ashley Roberts, Joe Sugg and Stacey Dooley, who was voted the winner alongside Kevin Clifton.
The pop star previously reflected on her experience on the BBC show during her appearance on Lorraine. "It's been the hardest thing - physically and emotionally - that I've ever done," Faye explained.
"Giovanni said he saw the potential in me, and I wanted the biggest challenge. He made it more technically difficult for me, but it was amazing. There was loads of injury but you just need to get on with it."
Earlier this month, Giovanni and his latest dance partner Richie Anderson became the second pair to leave the competition. They found themselves in the bottom two following their Samba to Hakuna Matata in Movie Week.
