After dancing to Ed Sheeran’s track Shivers for Halloween, the EastEnders actress and her partner were left stunned by the judges, the pair took to the stage with sexy Tangos.

It was an incredible performance that left Shirley Ballas (head judge) and Motsi Mbuse (motsi mabuse) on their feet. Craig Revel Horwood said Rose “smashed it”.
Rose and Giovanni laughed when Anton Du Beke told them: “I wrote a few words down. They all seem to be perfect.” Bravo!

Motsi was excited to say that while judging has been going on for 14 years, it’s only been one number. But this dance will be remembered as the best. It was an amazing, unforgettable dance.

Tess Daly dubbed Rose the Queen of Tango. However, the judges paid Rose 10 marks. That’s 40, the highest score ever awarded in the series’ history.
Rose recently opened up about representing the deaf community, telling Metro: ‘It’s amazing, when I was a child, I never grew up seeing anyone like me on telly.
‘It could be a really isolating place for a Deaf person, so I feel like if being on Strictly can change somebody’s life, it can happen – because there are some parents out there with a Deaf child and they’re like, ‘Oh, what do I do?’
“Then, they look at me on TV and realize that they are capable of doing what hearing children can do. It’s because I enjoy doing it that way.
Strictly Come Dancing aired at 6:45 on Saturday 6 November, and the results show Sunday 7 November at 7 :15 on BBC One.
