Giovanni Pernice has caused more tears for Strictly Come Dancing fans as he marked the end of his and Rose Ayling-Ellis' dance journey.
The dancing couple have been wowing fans up and down the country as the hit BBC One show headed on the road.
Rose and Giovanni and their fellow Strictly stars have put on 33 shows up and down the country on the programme's 2022 live tour in recent weeks.
But on Sunday night, the celebrities and professional dancers performed in their last show at London's O2.
And the end of the tour once again marked the end of Rose and Giovanni's Strictly journey.
But not before they lifted the Glitterball trophy for a second time as they became the tour's champions, winning 31 out of a total of 33 shows and coming runner-up at the two show's they didn't win.
Taking to Instagram before the last show, Giovanni paid another simple yet beautiful tribute to his Strictly 2021 partner.
"SCD champion [tick emoji] SCD live tour champion [tick emoji].
"The end of our @bbcstrictly journey but the beginning of an eternal friendship!!" the 31-year-old dancer wrote.
He added: "I love you @rose.a.e THANK YOU for the best 6 months of my life!"
And fans found there was something in their eyes.
@aly_ramsden commented: "That made me cry."
"Omg you two, you've been a joy to watch #dreamteam," @alixina22 wrote.
@alison.carlile2015 said: "What lovely words. The best pairing ever & something we'll never forget.
"Stop you’re gonna make me cry," @thelomlrose shared.
@taraspan added: "Just gorgeous…what a special relationship we have all been privileged to watch grow over the last six months."
But it's fair to say they're not handling the end of this dancing partnership very well.
@eunicebowes begged: "Please find a way to dance together from time to time. Gonna miss you both."
"I DON’T WANT IT TO END," @ jamiedavy_ cried.
Giovanni also shared a video to his Instagram Story of himself and Rose, 27, backstage at the arena before their final show.
"Last day together on tour," the Italian dancer explains. "But it's not finished."
"You do feel like a chapter [is] closing," Rose said, appearing emotional.
"No it's not," Giovanni argued before adding: "Oh, on Strictly?"
Rose added that the last six months have been 'crazy' before appearing a bit lost for words.
"Strictly champion," Giovanni told her. "And your champion as well."
The pair ended with a high-five before Giovanni looked at Rose and told her: "Well done."
