Rose and Giovanni were thrilled to make it through to the semi-finals, which is taking place this weekend, and are hoping to score highly again with their two dances, the Argentine tango and the Waltz.

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."

Speaking about her involvement, EastEnders star Rose said: "I have loved every minute of my Strictly journey so far, so to be able to continue it on the live tour next year is so exciting! I can't wait to perform live in front of all the fans who have supported me through this incredible series."
