He told HELLO! and other press at the time: "I knew I had a really good student. I always say it's the strongest mindset that wins the competition rather than the best dancer.
"Strictly is hard on the celebrities – much harder than most realise when they sign up – but if you're able to survive 13 weeks mentally, then you're halfway there. Rose is strong-minded. And she listens."
