Gio is Much Older Than He Looks!

We’re not sure which moisturiser Gio uses, but we would love to find out.

The golden-haired singer looks like a poster boy for surfing in California and is much older than he looks.

Giovanni was born on February 8th, 1985, making him 33 years old.

He is X Factor’s Face of Rock

If Gio is to continue advancing in the competition then it will be thanks to his rock ‘n’ roll support.

The singer has been covering various rock bands throughout his X Factor journey, with his own renditions of Use Somebody by Kings of Leon and Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin.

He was previously the lead of singer of a metal band called deVience.

Gio Has a Stalker

According to reports from The Mirror, Gio has a stalker.

The U.K newspaper claims that the X Factor has a middle-aged female stalker who calls him up to 100 times a day and sits in the same seat every night to watch him at gigs.

She must have spent a lot of money on X Factor tickets!
