Strictly Come Dancing’s Giovanni Pernice has shared a sweet snap from a night out with his Strictly celebrity dance partner Rose Ayling-Ellis, who was joined by her boyfriend of seven years Samuel Arnold.
On Thursday night, Giovanni headed out on a date night with Rose and her beau, not minding being the gooseberry as he documented the entire night on his social media.
Giovanni, who recently split from Love Island’s Maura Higgins, took to Instagram to share a sweet snap from the night out with Rose and Samuel.
Rose was sat in between Giovanni and her boyfriend as they all posed for the camera while enjoying each other’s company and a platter full of fancy food.
Sharing the snap with his followers, Giovanni penned: “Still smiling thinking about this plate of dessert.”
EastEnders star Rose has been with her partner Samuel for seven years – since she was 20.
The 27-year-old Strictly favourite is the dancing programme’s first deaf contestant and is tipped to win this year’s series alongside her professional dance partner Giovanni.
Last week, the pair’s dance was dubbed as one of the greatest dances in Strictly history.
Moving much of the audience to tears, the pair cut the music halfway through their performance, and continued to dance in complete silence.
Giovanni and Rose have become incredibly close since being paired up on the show, with the Italian-born dancer being dubbed a ‘changed man’ since meeting the actress.
A source recently told Heat magazine: “Giovanni has really changed since meeting Rose, and for the better.
“He’s seen the obstacles Rose has had to face in life and he’s just in awe of her.
“She’s one of the first women who he’s met who’s not taken in by his charms, and she isn’t afraid to challenge him or take the p**s out of him, which he loves.”
Rose shot to fame in recent months after portraying the role of Frankie Lewis in BBC One’s hit soap opera – EastEnders.
