Strictly fans are obsessed with this cute moment between Giovanni and Rose

Strictly Come Dancing has been full of ups and downs this series, from fan fix theories to *that* Adam Peaty and Katya Jones almost-kiss.

The latest moment viewers are obsessed with? This adorable chat between Giovanni Pernice and his dance partner, Eastenders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis.

After the pair performed over the weekend, Giovanni gushed about Rose in a sweet speech, and fans are naturally loving it.

Co-host Claudia Winkleman asked the dancer, "Giovanni, you have said Rose is the best thing that has happened to you in seven series of Strictly,"

Giovanni then sweetly responded, "Definitely. I have said that. She’s definitely the best thing that [has] happened. I might be the dance teacher but this year I’m learning myself new things."

"This thing is not just about dancing, we spend so much time together," he continued, "And I’m the one who is privileged to be dancing with you. So, thank you very much."

See how Giovanni's adorable speech played out here:

The cute moment comes after fans shared theories claiming that Giovanni and Rose's Viennese Waltz two weeks ago might have been a subtle nod to the dancer's split from Love Island star Maura Higgins.

Now, fans have taken to Twitter to react to the sweet exchange between Rose and Giovanni, with one writing: "No you’re crying at what @pernicegiovann1 just said to @RoseAylingEllis! I love them both!".

Another simply added, "Giovanni and Rose are adorable," while one wrote, "Rose and Giovanni. I just love them!"

Meanwhile, one fan summed it all up by writing, "I'll never see anything as pure and wholesome as Giovanni's speech to Rose tonight". TBH, we agree.

Bring on next week.
