Strictly Come Dancing winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice have reunited at this year’s TV BAFTAs, ahead of their Must-See Moment nomination.
Cuddling up to each other for a sweet reunion snap, Rose, 27, looked incredible in a silk navy-hued black gown, while Giovanni, 31, donned a suave suit.
The pair were attending the Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards at The Royal Festival Hall on Sunday (May 8).

Rose was the first ever deaf contestant to win the BBC dancing programme alongside professional dance partner Giovanni.
One of their famous dances from the series saw the couple perform in silence when they paused the music as a tribute to the deaf community.
And this dance was up for one of the coveted gongs at the awards among six nominees.
While on the judging panel, professional dancer Anton Du Beke said that the dance was “the greatest thing he’s ever seen on the show”.

The moment was nominated for the public voted Virgin Media Must-See Moment award.
