Rose Ayling-Ellis' brutal quip to Giovanni as he swaps her for Strictly co-star

Strictly Come Dancing star Rose Ayling-Ellis tickled fans thanks to her hilarious response to her former dancing partner's cheeky update.

The former EastEnders actress, 28, lifted the Glitterball trophy with Strictly professional Giovanni Pernice in 2021 and the two stars have maintained a close friendship ever since - with fans dying for the pair to get together romantically.

Taking to Instagram earlier this week, the Italian dancer, 32, shared a snap of himself posing alongside Anton du Beke after catching the Strictly judge performing in a pantomime over the festive period.

"Fantastic evening watching my partner in crime @mrantondubeke in Jack and the Beanstalk at @churchill_bromley," Giovanni captioned the picture of himself and Anton beaming for the camera.

Giovanni was dating Love Island star Maura Higgins ahead of taking to the dancefloor with Rose during the 2021 series of Strictly, but the pair split before the dancer and his celebrity partner were crowned champions of the BBC show in December 2021.

Rose suffered heartache after winning the show, when she split up with her boyfriend of seven years Sam Arnold shortly after lifting the Glitterball trophy.

Despite fans 'shipping' the two single stars, and hoping their friendships develops into a romance, it seems Giovanni may have found love with another Strictly co-star.
