Strictly Come Dancing fans were reduced to tears as Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice paid a special tribute to the deaf community with their latest routine.
The couple took to the dancefloor once again on Saturday night in a bid to win over judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Balass, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke.
In the VT before their performance, Rose explained that she wanted to give a nod to the deaf community as part of her Couples Choice routine with Giovanni.
During their stunning dance to Clean Bandit’s Symphony, the band stopped playing and the ballroom went completely silent while the pair continued their dance in a special moment.
Fans of the BBC One show rushed to their keyboards to compliment to couple on their latest performance on the show.
Taking to Twitter, one fan gushed: “Rose and Giovanni are such a dream team. I loved the emotional and powerful performance tonight. I love the beautiful sign language and definitely going to learn.”

A third person posted: “Just me crying cos Rose and Giovanni’s dance was absolutely beautiful.”
While a fourth social media user said: Wow. That was powerful. Well done Rose and Giovanni #Strictly.”
