Can we just crown Rose and Giovanni the winners already?

It looks like we have our Strictly champion.

Strictly Come Dancing viewers have been left in awe after Rose and Giovanni’s couple choice routine.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the country after the actress performed a breathtaking routine with the pro-dancer.

During the routine, the music stopped and the pair danced without any sound. Rose said it was important for her to honour the deaf community in the routine.

The EastEnders star shared, “In this dance, we have a very special moment, and I’m doing it for the deaf community.”

The pair scored a total of 39 points.

Praise rolled in after the couple’s performance.

“Absolutely stunning, beautiful and moving performance. Rose is inspiring and full of hope and happiness  I am legally blind and fully appreciate how difficult things can be for disabled people,” one wrote.

Another added, “The most powerful, beautiful dance. So very special. Thank you for taking us into your world and to Giovanni for being such a wonderful partner/teacher to Rose. Your relationship is wonderful to see.”

One user shared, “Still crying over Rose and Giovanni’s dance because I’m reading tweets from the Deaf community and how much the silent part meant to them.”

They added, “I’m so so happy they’re seeing this representation and they feel included. Long may your inclusion continue.”

They are in second place on the leaderboard.

The pair have been firm favourites to lift the glitterball trophy this year.

If anyone needs us we’ll be watching their routine on repeat for the rest of the night.

Pass the tissues!
