She kept her makeup natural and wore her hair in loose waves as she beamed for the camera. In the caption, the actress wrote: "This morning, I put a coat on, and this afternoon, I'm sweating. Last week I wore a summer dress, in the afternoon I'm soaked in the rain. 

"I love this look! Perfect for this confusing season time. Stay safe everyone." While many of her fans commented on how lovely she looked, several couldn't help responding with Strictly-related thoughts.

"Looking amazing as usual, thought about you last Saturday as Strictly opened," one wrote. A second added: "Wish you and Gio were dancing this year again! x," while others chimed in: "I think that as well, only my opinion but I don’t think it’s the same when he dances with anyone else..." 

A fourth, meanwhile, commented: "I [know] one day we will all get a nice surprise and her and Gio will put on a show come on you two," and another stated: "I think BBC missed out [and] should have made a Rose and Gio programme after they won."

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the professional dancer praised Amanda's frame during their Viennese Waltz, a performance that scored them an impressive 29 points from the judges in week one. Sharing a still from their dance showing the pair in hold, Giovanni wrote in the caption: "A moment of appreciation for this beautiful frame!"
