Giovanni penned the caption: “I’m loving my fab-ule-lous festive sweater which I’m proud to be wearing today in support of @savechildrenuk. This year, Christmas Jumper Day is double the fun!”

The 32-year-old added: “Why? Because every time you give £2 to @savechildrenuk, the UK government will also give £2. Which will go to help transform the lives of children in the UK and around the world.

“Not wearing your festive jumper yet? No problem! Ask your family and friends if they have anything you can wear, grab some baubles, tinsel or anything festive you have to hand. And make this the most sustainable #ChristmasJumperDay yet.”
