The exciting announcement comes almost a week after the soap star broke down in tears as she expressed her sadness that her time on the show with Giovanni is coming to an end.
Asked how she feels about making it so far in the competition, an emotional Rose revealed on It Takes Two: "It's just so nice because I really don't want it to end. Every time I think about it, it makes me really emotional.
"I try not to think about it and just enjoy being in the moment and I just really don't want it to end. I just want to carry on…"

Jumping in, Giovanni then said: "I am so proud. She's a fantastic student, she listens to me, I know I can be horrible sometimes because it's the nature of the job, but the fact she's loving it so much and become a very good dancer."
Rose is Strictly's first-ever deaf contestant, and in recent weeks, they have been receiving a great response from the judges and the audience for their powerful performances.
