Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice Tango to Shivers by Ed Sheeran ✨ BBC Strictly 2021 

The fact that she, someone who can’t hear the music, has achieved the earliest 40 in the entire show!!! Thank you for the representation

This is gio’s year!! He deserves to win so bad. His choreo had been amazing this series! Wonderful song choice too. Rose did awesome ! 10/10

The number of times I have rewatched this is UNHEALTHY

It’s been 2 years and I’m still sitting here admiring how she dances

Its unbelievable she can execute his brilliant choreography with such precision without missing a beat despite the fact she can not hear.....hope they make it to the finals

She’s is nothing short of astonishing, even if you take the fact she’s deaf away from this dance it’s still 10’s all round from the judges

this is was unreal she HAS to win

Giovanni must be a great teacher and she must be an excellent pupil it’s a great partnership

That little shoulder roll was the business attention to detail was superb that was class and we all no there is no substitute for that

Ladies and Gents, HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE.

One of the best Tangos if not the best dances ever seen on Strictly. The fact that Rose can move her head like that and maintain that frame whilst not being able to hear the music it's inspiring. 👏🏼👏🏼. I couldn't be Happier for Rose the perfect 40 very well deserved. She embodied the role of ice Queen brilliant ♥️♥️. Well done Rose my winners.

Seeing such a change in Giovanni this year. Beautiful partnership💖

also shoutout to that little shoulder movement at 1:15 - amazing 👏🏻

You can just see how proud Giovanni is of Rose, the two have worked insanely hard! Rose has a different connection to music, one a lot of us will never relate to, it’s truly magical. I genuinely think they could win this year.

She’s such a great actress. And she’s doing this without being able to hear the music properly! This might be Giovanni’s year, you know

THIS is who I would give anything even more than ever now to see win and lift that glitterball trophy, Rose and Giovanni were nothing short of absolutely AMAZING tonight, those four 10s were TOTALLY well deserved in coming

This dance was absolute well-deserved the earliest 40 of the series! Wow, oh my God! How on earth did Rose do that? It was absolute spook-tactually incredible! They are the King & Queen of Halloween. That is why I convinced myself that they are going to win in the finals. My favourite couple ever! This dance will always remain epic and one of my favourite performances ever! I mean, this was out of world! My favourite bit of their performance is the way Rose grabbed Giovanni’s face then had her shoulders roll before continued dancing. It was so higher standard and A-Tier! The timing, the frame, her posture, the setting and their choreography was all perfect! It got me shivers and goosebumps every time I watched it! Absolutely A-Ma-Zing! 🥶❄️ My Score: 10

Honestly, I was so impressed with this dance. It was probably the best Tango we’ve ever seen on Strictly. Considering the fact that in 2023, Layton who gets distracted often from dances and just focuses on showing off his tricks is considered the greatest dancer on Strictly ever, Rose deserves way more credit.

Add this to the list of best Strictly dances ever, from the start when Rose nonchalantly looks at Gio then uses her powers on him, a hint of Paso with the skirtograpy, the stunning staccato, the subtle roll of the shoulders midway though the dance and the brilliantly timed ending, the joy Rose and Gio showed at the end of the dance, Anton showed his class by removing his hat after his comments, when Craig asked how to sign 'You smashed It' I knew it would be a 40 dance, their reaction to the scores, Gio crying after Rose hailed him 'The King of Halloween' just topped it off. They have to win this.

This is the best tango danced by a celebrity ever on strictly

Still loving and watching Rose and Giovanni 😭❣️my favorites forever

How Rose can convey childlike innocence in one dance and dangerous sexuality in another is a tribute to her skill as an actress.

Omg that was ridiculous! Rose is absolutely brilliant and Giovanni has been killing the choreography this series! I mean he always does but this season it feels like he has stepped up his game! I love watching them each week!

I just keep coming back to watch this - especially her shoulder roll. It just does something noone else's has!

She's stunning. Earliest 40 in the show ever, and she can't hear the music. A clear winner for me. Rose, John, and AJ in the final.

Considering this was over a month ago and I watch this nearly everyday shows how amazing this was 💃🏼 Strictly seriously has an impact on people's lifes including mine I am forever greatful we have a show to get lost in the moment and forget for a while how cruel life I can be.

this is already one of my favourite dances in strictly history. she has to win 💙

This is a dance we will come back and watch over and over again.

Anyone else addicted to this dance😂

I cannot stopping watching this dance, it is fantastic. I totally agree that Rose has brought something out of Giovanni. I have always loved watching him but this year his empathy with Rose and affection for her has taken his quality of performance to another level. It is incredible to witness that Rose, a deaf person, has brought an added dimension to dancing. She is stupendous! and totally adorable.

What a choreography, this dance will go down as an icon in strictly history.

My wife and I have watched SCD since the beginning and I honestly believe this is one of the best dances we have ever seen. The shoulder roll Rose did was up there with one of the best things I have ever seen. Watched a few times now. Amazing.

Giovannie is realy the master of halloween. Perfect choreo perfect music and perfcet dance

These two are simply a DREAM. The performance was stunning and I was crying along with Giovanni when they got their perfect score. Their commitment, their performance, the SKILL and power. They're record breakers and this was so thoroughly deserved! I'm so excited to see what creative genius will come about next week, it's always something different with these two!

One of the best dances in SCD history.

Gio and Rose to win. She is amazing and such an inspiration.. She is one of the best dancers I have seen and at points in that dance it was hard to even pick out who the pro was xxx

When I watch them it's like magic. I can't explain their connection its very different from the rest of them even aj and kai. Just something special. They bring out the best in each other and I think they're TOTALLY open to each other which is the difference?. I think this is guovanni moment. He better take it cause I feel everything's led up to him meeting rose. Don't know why. But her posture, feetwork and speed are beyond amateur here. Just love her regal top half. The most perfect ballroom stance out of all the celebrities and love control she has. Loved the promenade leg flick backwords

My absolute favourite couple EVER. This dance and Zara Larson dance when the music went off are my all time favourite dances EVER

They had so many dances that stole the show. This! American Smooth, Couples Choice, Show Dance, the waltz, Argentine tango, the paso, Viennese waltz! Both great partnership. Arguable the best ever on the show! They took everyone on an emotional ride. Only a few people can do that 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Simply love them. Rose is an incredible dancer. Hats off to her and Giovanni. They so deserved that 40.

Rose's jump and smile at the end says it all. Fabulous.

I am obsessed with Rose as a contestant! She comes across as so lovely, I feel like I want to adopt her!! She’s a credit to herself as well as the deaf community and a fantastic ambassador for that community as well as the disabled community in general. So glad she’s here representing and I hope this paves the way for others. Absolute way to go Rose! (I hope you read this Rose!!) 🌹

This was just brilliant for any dancer, but one for one who cant hear the music, truly phenomenal. You'd think being deaf would be a disadvantage for a dancer, if anything it has given Rose something extra special to bring to the dance floor. She feels the music in a way the hearing population cant. She is a joy to watch. Well done Rose

If she doesn't end up winning, I will be very surprised. She is just going from strength to strength and it really is a testament to Giovanni's teaching. Absolutely fantastic tango!

I can't get over how she managed every movement of her body to time perfectly with the beat in the music despite not being able to hear a single thing. She did not miss a single beat.

I’m sick to death of the constant camera changes. It’s like being on a fairground ride! I absolutely love these two, sometimes though it would be nice to see their full silhouette whilst they are dancing though so we can see all their footwork. Rose has worked so hard. Such an amazing partnership though, I really want to see them in the final. Perfection ❤️

Their chemistry is breathtaking during the performance as well as in reality!! Hope they win!!

This has me absolutely astonished, the timing, the chemistry, the whole story telling is so unbelievably great! No one would ever know rose was hearing impaired! She is absolutely unbelievable

The winners right here folks. This guy is an amazing choreographer and his dance partner is sublime. Absolute perfection.

Unbelievable. Unreal. Incredible. Possibly the best ever dance I've seen on Strictly. I was just in awe after this. Rose and Gio are adorable as a pairing as well. Love them!

I am in utter awe of this beautiful young lady.... She has not had one bad dance since the start of the show and blew me away last night. And it has to be said that Giovanni is the perfect instructor and choreographer... They must surely win this competition and if they don't it will be a travesty!

The 2021 winners right here, I’m calling it ✨✨✨ Congratulations on your historic 40 Rose and Gio, all the applause for our wonderful Ice Princess 👏👏❄️🤍🌬🌟

I was on my feet chanting 40 after watching this! I think the fact she's an actor really helps too because she played the character sooo well! So deserved!! :)

They’re my winners. Rose is incredible and Gio deserves this

The VT of Rose jumping up and down shouting, 'C'mon! I can do it' - followed by this performance, and then her celebrating with Giovanni ('The King of Halloween! I achieve it!) is the most beautiful story I have seen in forever. You couldn't write it! From the moment the camera showed her on her throne I was transfixed. Rose - you are out of this world, off the chart, an amazingly pure and genuinely beautiful dancer and person. I love watching you perform with Giovanni every week. You bring happiness and joy to our screens and lives! Giovanni, the routines you have choreographed for Rose are mind-blowing. Congratulations to you both, keep up the incredible work. We are all rooting for you to get to that final! Bring on the samba (and bring back 'Dirty Lola'!). Love love love x

It’s her dance at the end when she knows she’s nailed it!!!! Absolutely brilliant performance ❤️❤️❤️

There is a wonderful innocence within Rose, she glows from the inside and shines from the outside.

10 Yeah, it was flawless. Needless to say, her performance was on another level. Every detail that was worked into the dance was executed technically perfectly and with the attack that never faltered throughout the entire dance. Gio's choreography was also once again spot on. Just the right amount of everything. Thoroughly deserved the 40 and I'm very impressed that Giovanni has broken his own record for earliest ever 40, and with another Tango, although it's also down to Rose's amazing conviction and performance.

She definitely deserves to win like how do you dance like that without even being able to hear the music that's very impressive.

Rose is amazing, what a dancer. I loved the emotion from Giovanni, when they got 10's 😄😄😄

Right at the end when Rose jumps up and down and shouts "Giovaniiii" awwww

This dance along with last week's and the movie week dance are replayed constantly along with Jay and Aliona's jive all incredible if Rose and Gio do not win it will be a travesty so majestically marvellous

They were AMAZING!! It's as simple as that. A well deserved 40 and the best of the night. Giovanni's face said it all he was elated and no doubt the proudest teacher. He taught her that in a week and she nailed it. Well done Rose. 👏🔥💜

They both seem such genuinely nice people, they make a perfect pairing of joy and skill. I love this pairing. A match made in heaven.

I love her, and Gio is excelling himself with his choreograohy

Can we just appreciate how good this girl is she can't even hear the music

I absolutely love this power couple! Giovanni always shows support and incredible routines and Rose well she's absolutely incredible, her characters she portrays are so strong!

I love Rose & Gio’s partnership so much, and this routine was FLAWLESS!

Rose smashed it and Giovanni’s choreography was amazing! Well deserved 40 🙌🏻

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched this, Rose and Gio were the perfect partnership ❤️

King of Halloween Continues to Keep His Throne PERIOD! They both did AMAZING

Out of all of the seasons of Strictly, this is one of my top dances. Rose is such an amazing young lady, such talent as an actress, but also to pick up these dances the way she does ... simply superb. Think she will be in the final against John and who knows. I hope so anyway!! ❤

The chemistry between Rose and Giovanni is amazing. Brilliant choreography I would love for them to win

This was the best dance of the night. Rose is amazing, she also is bringing the best out in Giovanni. They are a great pair. Shout out for the signers as well.

It’s mad that every time I watch the bit where she rolls her shoulders I shiver

This was the best dance the season!

My king of dance did it again. Kept his title of champion of the Halloween leaderboard and to get the first 40 of the series is just amazing...when he cried I cried. Rose is absolutely his best partnership so far. I love them both.

Superb. This dance had it all, attack, drama, great body contact, she was just glued to him, sharp well controlled fallaways, fast footwork. Rose maintained a beautiful frame and posture throughout and, after doing a couple of dances that required rise and fall, swing and sway, having to switch to a different technique this week must have felt odd, but she did it so well. I think it is amazing to see so much musicality in her dancing when she doesn't experience the music in the same way that a hearing person does. She is in my top three and I definitely see her in the final.

This is the best Strictly Come Dancing all time performance of the series so far but Giovanni is still the King of Halloween cos he's making history once again. 10/10

MY WORD THIS WAS AMAZING. Power, drive, passion, stillness in the top line, this is a tango that had everything I was looking for. 10

These two are the ones I look forward to seeing every week, that makes them my winners, love them.

She’s such a cutie, I LOVE her! Absolutely outstanding! Her acting ability is incredible

Boss Rose! Boss Rose! I don't know what else to say. They absolutely attacked it! Executed and danced beautifully! A Tango needs to be sharp as ice and that's what it was! And her acting! She is the Ice Queen! The way she commanded him! She absolutely dominated him! AND THEY GOT THE FIRST 40!! SO EARLY!! GIO IS THE KING OF HALLOWEEN!!!

I will never stop thinking about this dance

just ace. her footwork is immaculate. her frame is so effortless. 10

Incredible show yday! Wow wow wow. I still can’t get over Rose and Giovanni!! Their performances are stunning and truly captivating. They dance with so much passion, emotion and their connection is on fire. Yday was the most fierce awesome performance. There is something so sweet, so authentic and so beautiful about them. The strength in their bond and partnership really translates on screen. The confidence Giovanni has given Rose to blossom into this sassy fierce & beautiful dancer is so apparent I couldn’t believe how more she’s grown in a week. The warmth, tenderness and sincere happiness we are seeing from Gio as a result of him being partnered with Rose is gorgeous. From all the 19 series of this show, this has to be the most authentic sweet connected pairing ever! My favourite partnership of all time. They have magic which moves you and captivates you and leaves you wanting more and more and literally makes your heart melt and gives goose bumps, THAT is what Gio and rose have to elevate their incredible dancing to this whole other level from the other competitors. It’s like 2 people become 1 in their dance they are so in synch and so natural together so sincere and so sweet .Their performances are strong, full of emotion wnd character and they never fail to bring the passion. WINNERS, I am completely emotionally invested in them. Stunning performances that have won my heart. They bring substance, dance quality, connection, choreography, everything and that was never more apparent then last night! They dance seamlessly together and yet there must be a mountain of work behind that effortless, romantic, emotive, breathtaking performance. This series with Rose is so transformative for Gio, he’s always been an incredible pro but this series is just mind blowingly good and the growth is beautiful to see in how he cares for rose and trains her. The spark they have together off the dance floor is what makes it so special on the dance floor-it’s what makes it so authentic, so beautiful, you can see the trust and comfort and strength and connection so clearly. Him and rose together are a force. The perfect team. I Love to see talent, love to see authenticity, love to see passion and they bring it all. They are the most deserving pair of the 2021 glitter ball.

Never feel the need to comment on these although I am an avid lover and watcher of SCD and always watch the performances here after too. This took my breath away. I immediately had to rewind to see them perform again. Just amazing!!! Well done to Rose and I truly hope this is Gs year to win, with such an amazing partner I don't think it will be hard to reach the final. Love love love ❤

I have watched this Dance over and over l will never tire watching Rose and Giovanni ishe brilliant Geovani is the best Pro dancer on strictly l love him,l hope that he wins this year his choreography is fabulous Rose is fabulous they are brill together the judges should tell Giovanni how good a teacher he is and how good his choreography he is they have not done that but have said it to other pros can't wait for Saturday, Dan's turn to go.

She is such a beautiful woman inside and out and turned into a great dancer as well as actress.i could watch those two dance all day and not get tired of watching them dance .

Rose and Giovanni the performance was stunning and truly captivating. Omg did they cast a spell it gave me shivers and goose bumps so much passion, emotion and their connection is on fire. At times I almost forgot to breathe. Amazing choreography Giovanni as always but this year you have taken it to a whole new level totally Epic. Absolutely fabulous best dance of the night worth every 10.This season it's showed a whole new side to Gio they are perfect together and the way he looks at her is totally off the charts. He's always been the King of Halloween but this year he has a Queen that stands at his side after watching that Tango. Just when I thought I couldn't love them any more! All hail the King and Queen of Halloween. ❤ ❤ ❤

I am so proud of them 😭😭😭💗💗💗

I still am astonished she can perform the way she does without being able to hear the music.

Rose brought me to tears with this. Absolutely brilliant. Rose for the final. Xxx go girl xxx

BEST DANCE OF THE SERIES FOR SURE!!

Out of the park again for these two. I love it when a partnership are glued together in hold. So great to see. And she had beautiful shoulders - no hunching. Gio's gently teaching her improvements, step by step.

OMG Rose & Giovanni ... King & Queen of Halloween Gave me shivers, brilliant choreography and music choice Gio has taken this year to a whole new level. Four 10 and so well deserved. Winners for me all the way.

That was absolutely flawless. Just brilliant

ROSE KILLED HER ROLE!!

Thoroughly deserved 40. Considering she can't hear any music how fantastic a job she's doing. Giovanni such a marvellous Pro, his attention to technique and choreography shows every performance. I love their partnership, so much respect and hard work shown to one another.

I actually got emotional watching this dance. Their musicality is on a different level, and Rose's acting skills have come to the fore, especially in their ballroom dances. It was a perfect performance .
