He explained: “I think because it was such a big moment it would be weird for us not to do it. Obviously the silent moment was so powerful and this got so much attention.
“Rose keeps saying the dance changed her life and a lot of people’s lives, so it’s just fair to do it again. It is the right thing to do.”
The EastEnders star is the show’s first ever deaf contestant.
And the bookies believe she will be crowned its first ever deaf champion too – beating rivals John Whaite and AJ Odudu.
