Giovanna shares two sons with husband Tom

Giovanna and her husband Tom Fletcher are proud parents to three-year-old Buzz and one-year-old Buddy. When asked about being a working mum, the TV star replied: "If I am away from them, I do feel like I have to be dedicated to what I'm doing because otherwise I'm doing nothing and not with my kids so then the mum guilt comes swamping in. So I feel that becoming a mum has made me more productive."

Despite being a very doting, hands-on mother, Giovanna has confessed there is one thing that she won't do at home – ironing! "The corners that I cut... I don't iron," she admitted. "That's a general thing across the board. I cut that out of my life. Nothing is ironed." The star added: "I feel that once it's on me, once I'm out wearing it, the creases will fall out. It's fine, and if anyone's look at that then I'm doing something wrong in life."
