Giovanni Pernice had a sweet comment for his dance partner Rose Ayling-Ellis - despite her swapping partners on the Strictly Come Dancing tour.
The dancing couple and several other of the BBC One show's stars have spent the last week and a half gearing up for the opening night of the string of arena gigs on Thursday night.
Rose is being joined by Rhys Stephenson, John Whaite, Tilly Ramsay, Sara Davies, Max George, and Maisie Smith alongside their professional partners on the road.
