Taking to Instagram, Giovanna shared a photo of herself in a boot brace alongside a snap of her ankle looking very bruised, writing: "Not quite how I imagined ending 2021 and starting the 2022, but there we go… I somehow managed to roll over on my ankle mid-show on Thursday. The big crunch I heard and subsequent pain have brought me to this new accessory.

"Needless to say I’m missing from @222aghoststory at the moment. To say I’m devastated not to be there is an understatement and at this point I think my heart hurts far more than my ankle. I’m resting up and doing all I can to be back on stage with @stephaniebeatriz, @buxtagram and @lostwaxprocess ASAP, but in the meantime I’m delighted that audiences get to see the wonderful @handyrhi shine as Jenny.
We hope she can rejoin the show soon
"I feel so lucky to be part of such a supportive company (cast, crew, FOH and production) who’ve done all they can to help, and can’t wait to return soon!" Oh dear!

Giovanna shared a snap of her bruised foot, ouch!
Giovanna later shared an Instagram Story where she thanked everyone for their support, adding that she was aiding her recovery with "lots of ice, lots of elevation and lots of staying off my feet". We're wishing her a speedy recovery!
