Strictly Come Dancing champion Rose Ayling-Ellis reveals how she and Giovanni Pernice celebrated their win on Saturday night
December 20, 2021 - 09:48 GMT Sharnaz Shahid Rose Ayling-Ellis made history after she was crowned this year's Strictly Come Dancing champion alongside dance partner Giovanni Pernice, and to celebrate, the stars danced the night away!Speaking to the Guardian after lifting the glitterball trophy, the EastEnders actress - who was the show's first deaf celebrity to perform - revealed how some of the cast and crew got together for a little celebration.
Describing how taking part in Strictly has"been life-changing," the fan favourite confessed to feeling"sad" now her journey has come to an end. "I try not to think about it ending too much because it makes me feel really sad," she added. Although learning the choreography is difficult for a hearing person, Rose has had to put in the extra hours to figure out the steps. Discussing the initial struggle, she explained: "There are a lot of ups and downs and some dances are harder than others. But Giovanni is such a good teacher, and he's really adapted to the way I learn, rather than making me learn it in his way.
Rose then told fans that winning the Glitterball is the"best gift" she could give to Giovanni, claiming"he really deserves it". She noted:"I am beyond proud of us. I never thought I would leave Strictly with a best friend for life, thank you Gi."
