Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice are looking to work together again after their ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ success.
Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice won the 2021 series
The duo – who won the glitterball trophy on the BBC’s Latin and ballroom show last year – won a BAFTA for the must-see moment of 2021 after their emotional silent dance, and they have some plans in the pipeline for future TV projects.
As quoted by the Daily Star newspaper’s Hot TV column, Giovanni said: “Our friendship and relationship goes beyond dance.
“We are definitely going to be working together again.”
In the meantime, the ‘Strictly’ pro is waiting to find out who will be partnered with on the new series later this year.
Rose admitted she’ll be keeping a close eye on Giovanni and his new partner, although it won’t be out of jealousy.
She admitted: “I’ll be saying, ‘You need to improve.’ “
The dancer added: “She will be the one who will always criticise, ‘Oh, your partner’s position wasn’t great.’ “
Meanwhile, he ruled out the idea of quitting ‘Strictly’ after the shock departures of big names like Kevin Clifton and Aljaz Skorjanec.
He explained: “It’s not in my DNA to leave. I’m Italian, very competitive. As you say, let’s bring the next challenge.”
On Sunday (08.05.22), the pair were presented with their BAFTA by former Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes and – using British Sign Language – Rose explained she was so “proud” of her achievements and noted how “powerful” TV can be for change.
She said: “It made me feel so proud. It made me quite emotional because deaf people have been fighting for access and for their rights, and in the last few months so much has changed, more than it has in years.
“The fact that it’s happening – that’s how powerful TV can be.”
