Strictly: Giovanni and Rose use BSL sign language during dance
Strictly Come Dancing fans watched in awe on Saturday night as EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis and dance professional Giovanni Pernice spoke to each other via sign language.
The performance reduced some fans to tears – with the signed discussion occurring before the pair broke into an “elegant” dance.
Now the BBC have uncovered exactly what 26-year-old Rose and 31-year-old Giovanni said to each other during their latest Strictly performance.
Sharing a clip of the pair on the show via Instagram on Monday, captions translated what the couple were signing to each other on Saturday’s show.
Rose was shown jumping to her feet on the set and asking: “Where have you been? You’ve been ages!”

Fans and former Strictly stars reacted with delight after the translation was aired on the BBC show’s main Instagram feed.
