She’s married to a pop star, but now it’s time for a little role reversal. Parenting guru Giovanna Fletcher is about to hit the road, leaving her McFly singer hubby Tom to hold the fort with their kids: Buzz, eight, Buddy, six, and four-year-old Max. “I’ve got every confidence in Tom!” she laughs. “He’s a brilliant dad, and he’s very good at cooking.”
Confidence is a recurring theme in Giovanna’s life right now. As well as stepping into the spotlight for theatrical thriller Wish You Were Dead, the podcaster, 38, is taking on a second new role, as a confidence ambassador for IT Cosmetics. It’s a topic that’s close to the heart of the I’m A Celeb 2020 winner, who admits she’s often secretly quaking beneath her warm and approachable exterior.
“I definitely have imposter syndrome. And everything that I do, I feel so nervous just before I do it,” she confesses. “Whether that’s recording a podcast, going on stage, everything! I try to channel it, to feel like it’s a wave of excitement, but at the same time, I feel like I’m just talking to one of my kids and trying to lie and spin the story! I think the actor side of me means I feel like I can step out of ‘Giovanna’ a bit, and fulfil each role, whatever that is.”
