Comic Relief fans were wowed by a performance by Strictly Come Dancing winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice which has been described as "beautiful and graceful" by fans. The duo performed to Ellie Goulding's How Long Will I Love You on Friday night (March 18).
Host Lenny Henry then asked Rose what it was like to have captured the hearts of the nation after her win. She told him: "It's been really nice, it's really nice to see my friends and family again and I have bumped into quite a lot of people in the public and they come up to me and some of them start crying and get emotional and it's really sweet. I start to realise how much I have made an affect to everyone."
Speaking after the performance on BBC One, Rose explained how much it meant for her to be dancing with Giovanni again. She said: "It's really nice to dance together again because we went through a really special journey," Birmingham Live reports. She added: "So every time we get to pair up it brings happy memories and we really enjoy dancing together. I really miss ballroom so I really enjoyed it."

Gio added: "Disability, as Rose showed, it doesn't have to stop anybody if you really want to follow your dream and you really love dancing you just have to go and do it. This year the final showed how diverse and inclusive everyone can be. To be in a final like that was just the cherry on the cake. I'm very, very privileged."
