Before Giovanni could answer, Rose replied: "That's why I want to win it for him!" Giovanni then added: "I think, no matter what, we already achieved a lot, Zoe, and obviously winning the competition for me would be a dream come true.
"I have been there so many times, come so close yet so far, but it's not about me, it's about Rose, it's about what Rose is achieving."

Rose interrupted and remarked: "No, it is about you because we are a team!" To which, the professional dancer said: "Okay, so it's about us we both want to win so, please vote for us."

On making it to the final, Rose added: "It's been so long, it has taken over my life, and I can't believe I'm on my very last week ever and I'm in the final!"
Giovanni, 31, continued: "I'm so happy because I think she really deserves to be there, she has been working very, very hard. We both have worked very hard, and I think it is the right thing for her to be in the final, I think she deserves it."
The comments come shortly after the pro dancer was heard affectionately calling Rose, "beautiful". In an unseen moment from one of their dances last weekend, Giovanni was captured whispering the word into her ear following their incredible Waltz.
