Strictly’s Giovanni Pernice dines with Rose Ayling-Ellis and her boyfriend in rare pic

Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice took Rose Ayling-Ellis and her boyfriend out to a swanky West London restaurant to celebrate her 27th birthday.

Viewers are used to seeing the Strictly partner's intense and emotional routines on their screens in recent weeks.

So, they may be surprised to see newly-single Giovanni's post of the couple joined by Rose's boyfriend of seven years, Samuel Arnold.

Unlike his girlfriend, Samuel is not in the public eye. However he is the EastEnders star's biggest supporter, and was spotted smiling when he left the studio after the duo's show-stopping performance on Saturday night.

Giovanni uploaded a photo of the three of them grinning and hugging to his Instagram stories. The Strictly pro also wrote: "Still smiling thinking about this little plate of dessert."

So, it is all smiles at the moment, which suggests the curse of Strictly will not come into play on this occasion.

The dancing couple are the bookmakers favourites to lift the coveted Glitterball trophy this year and their unique chemistry has captured the imaginations of viewers and experts.

Body language expert Judi James, believes the bond of Giovanni and Rose hasn't been seen on Strictly before. She explained to Buzz Bingo: “It’s a non-sexual love story that looks genuine and uniquely romantic.”

The expert added: "This relationship has grown over the weeks and now Gio gazes at Rose with utter respect and a parental-looking sense of price and adoration."

The feeling of adoration is clear in both of their comments to each other too, after last week's performance Rose was full of praise for the self-confessed "lizard" of a partner.

The actress declared: “I feel very, very thankful for your determination to make this dance the most positive, happy dance it can be because you know that being deaf, there's nothing wrong, it's such a joy to be deaf and I think that says a lot about you as a person."

When speaking to Tess Daley, an emotional Giovanni replied: "The positivity that she gives to me every single day is just out of this world. So, I'm the one who is very thankful to you so thank you so much!"


The pair's strictly-professional relationship has blossomed and Heat reported that the EastEnders' actress has changed him for the better.

Their sources said: "He's seen the obstacles Rose has had to face in life and he's just in awe of her."

They add: "She's one of the first women who he's met who's not taken in by his charms, and she isn't afraid to challenge him or take the p**s out of him, which he loves."

All eyes will be on the favourites this week and how the pair follow up that iconic moment. This Saturday is Musicals' week and they will be dancing the quickstep to Love Is An Open Door, from the Frozen soundtrack.
