Giovanna Fletcher and her husband Tom have been married for nearly a decade and have three children together, but the couple have admitted that making time for each other can be difficult
Giovanna Fletcher admits "it's always hard" moving on from a production as husband Tom Fletcher pleaded with her not to go away again.
Giovanna, 40, is known as the host of the host of the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast as well as her novels. She was also crowned Queen on the Jungle on the 20th series of I'm a Celeb.
‌
Alongside her life as a celebrated podcaster and author, Giovanna juggles family life with three youngsters, Buzz, 11, Buddy, 9, and seven year old Max, pairing with McFly's frontman Tom Fletcher. Her notable theatre work has seen her light up the West End in shows like 2:22: A Ghost Story and Everybody's Talking About Jamie, coming off a recent tour as the lead in The Girl on the Train.
‌
In a chat with Heat magazine about returning to the stage, Giovanna admitted: "Absolutely. It's always hard leaving a show, especially one you love."
Tom, the 39-year-old McFly sensation, quipped: "I've only just got her back home. Can you not send her back off on tour, please."
Not one to sit idle, Giovanna has matched her bustling agenda with that of her spouse Tom, who is gearing up for an electrifying Busted vs McFly Tour of his own. He's no stranger to penmanship either, having authored books himself, and now he's venturing into the dramatic arts world.
Tom has been working diligently, composing lyrics and music for Paddington The Musical, while also adapting his children's book series, The Dinosaur that Pooped, for the stage with The Dinosaur that Pooped A Rock Show.
‌
The power couple recently carved out some time for a "rare" evening at The Great Gatsby's press night, with Giovanna commenting on their action-packed lives: "We're very busy".
Tom echoed the sentiment, the former Strictly Come Dancing star remarked: "We won't get many nights like this."
‌
Childhood sweethearts Tom and Giovanna first crossed paths at the Sylvia Young Theatre School and later sealed their love with a 2012 wedding. Tom's heartfelt wedding speech, where he expressed gratitude to his wife and bandmates, became an internet sensation.
Giovanna recently shared insights into the challenges of balancing demanding careers during a podcast, sympathising with a listener's marital difficulties. She confessed: "That's really hard isn't it. I can relate, I feel with Tom if we can manage to watch something together and our feet touch, that's a win."
She continued: "I also think being aware that you're so busy that you're juggling, that you're drifting is really really important, because then you can do something about it. I think not being aware of it is the difficult place to be."
Furthermore, Giovanna passionately advised against comparing one's relationship to others. She stated: "I think it's so easy to look at other couples out there, whether that's your mates, or online and go 'oh my gosh they've got it sorted'. It's all b******s, total total rubbish."
