In one video, Rose and Giovanni open a bottle of champagne to celebrate their victory, whilst the final picture in the post shows the pair lifting the Glitterball trophy.

“Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow,” Rose wrote in the caption.

“That’s definitely what 2021 did for me, the year of growth, discovery and surprises. I cannot wait to see what 2022 would bring.”

Plenty of fans commented on Rose’s Instagram, but it was Giovanni’s comment that drew the most attention.

“She’s not having a nine (heart emoji),” one fan laughed. “Absolutely not.”

“Rose isn’t having a nine,” another joked.

Another added: “Add another [heart] for a perfect 10.”

“We all miss seeing you two together!! You made everything better!!” another fan said.

Other celebrities and fans commented on Rose’s Instagram with some kind words for the actor.

“Love you Rose. You made this year so much better. I’m the proudest fake dad in the world,” Danny Dyer wrote.

“Love you Rose reach for the stars gorgeous,” another fan said.

“Rose, you are undoubtedly Personality of the Year. Delightful dancing, strong generous motivation, and with a wonderful sense of humour,” another said.
