Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer Giovanni Pernice has reflected on the iconic silent routine he performed with celebrity partner Rose Ayling-Ellis after it has been nominated in Virgin Media's 'Must See Moment' category at this year's BAFTA awards. Gio explained how "special" the dance was.
Rose and Giovanni made history when they preformed a section of their routine in silence to show what Rose experiences when she is on the dance floor. The 27-year-old was also the first deaf contestant to compete and win the entertainment show.
During an interview with BBC Breakfast on Wednesday, March 23, professional dancer Giovanni recalled how it felt to perform the routine. "The feeling in the room was just outstanding," he explained: "It was more than just a dance. It was more than just 16 seconds of silence. For us it was more to show what Rose feels every single week."
