BBC Strictly Come Dancing Rose Ayling-Ellis visits dance partner Giovanni Pernice's family in Sicily

Strictly Come Dancing winner and former EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis visited her pro dance partner Giovanni Pernice in his native Sicily recently. Rose, best known for playing Frankie Lewis on EastEnders, posed for a picture with Giovanni, 32, at his sister Angela's dance studio in Sicily.

Angela was also in the picture, which was obtained by The Sun, along with Strictly star Anton du Beke. Rose won the show in December last year, partnering up with professional Giovanni Pernice, 33, and her career instantly skyrocketed, the Mirror reports.

The visit comes as romance rumours have surrounded the pair for months, with 27-year-old Rose said to have split from her boyfriend Samuel Arnold. They were together for seven years before going their separate ways and the split is said to be "very amicable".
