Strictly fans are looking forward to watching their Argentine Tango after the routine was teased with a "near-kiss" rehearsal video.
The couple opened up about the routine while appearing on It Takes Two. Asking about the near-kiss dance detail at the end, host Janette Manrara joked: "Giovanni mentioned how close you were actually going to be, you weren't very excited about it Rose, and I think it's only carried on more through rehearsals during the week because look at this…"
A VT was then played showing the duo dancing whilst their faces were only inches apart. "Good, better," Giovanni tells the actress as they finish their dance. Unimpressed, Rose looks down at her hand and says: "Sweaty."
