Rose reacted to Giovanni's sweet message

In November, Rose and Giovanni performed a poignant Couple's Choice dance that left viewers in tears after they paid respect and raised awareness for members of the deaf community when the music cut as they continued to dance in silence.

Speaking after winning their award, which was chosen by the public as Virgin Media's Must-See Moment, Giovanni said: "We are @bafta winners! Can't believe it @rose.a.e. The power of the DANCE strikes again!! This time this dance has changed people's lives and that's what me and Rose wanted to achieve. Thank you to the BBC and the @bbcstrictly team for supporting us all the way.
