Strictly fans share fears for Rose Ayling-Ellis after ‘surprising’ news ahead of Saturday’s final

The pair will dance their Couple's Choice again

Strictly Come Dancing favourite Rose Ayling-Ellis has “surprised” fans with her choice of dance for this Saturday’s final (December 19).

Rose and pro partner Giovanni Pernice get to select their favourite dance of the series to perform.

They’ll also perform the judges’ favourite dance from the series, as well as an epic Showdance.

As well as their Showdance, the couple will also be performing their Couple’s Choice dance again.

Of course, this was the dance that gave an insight into Rose’s life, as the music went off and the couple danced in silence for 10 seconds.

It went down a storm with the judges and audience at home, and the pair clearly loved it so much they’ve decided to dance it again.

However, the decision didn’t sit entirely comfortably with some Strictly fans watching at home.

How did Strictly fans react to the news?

Some admitted they were “a bit surprised” that Rose and Gio had decided to dance their Couple’s Choice again.

After all, the element of surprise when the music went off was the stand-out moment of the dance.

“Bit surprised Rose and Giovanni are doing their Couple’s Choice again,” said one fan.

“I thought they would have the same opinion as Jay as Aliona did with their jive in that they couldn’t do it again.”

Another added: “Emotionally I didn’t think they would.

“It was a moment and sometimes you think will it have the same impact the second time? Or it was a moment in time that just can’t be recreated.”

Were any fans keen to see the dance again?

However, others were fully on board with the idea.

“They got 39 last time so probs want to get 40 – plus they know how much it moved people before and therefore it’ll probs get them a lot of votes,” said one.

“I’m really pleased,” said another.

“I can’t wait for this – Rose‘s Couple’s Choice was so beautiful.”
