Giovanni Pernice jumps in with "proud of you" comment as Rose Ayling-Ellis shares news

Giovanni Pernice and Rose Ayling-Ellis may no longer be on our screens as a Strictly Come Dancing duo but that doesn't mean the dancing pair have lost touch.

The EastEnders actress won the Inspirational Person the Year award at the Visionary Honours Awards and Giovanni was quick to offer his congratulations.

Posting on his Instagram story a picture of Rose clutching her award, Giovanni wrote: "Proud of you @rose.a.e", along with a heart and red rose emoji.

Rose reposted the message adding: "Thank you @giovannipernice and huge congratulations for your opening last night" adding a star struck emoji.

Rose regularly updates her 549k followers on Instagram.

In her latest update she wrote: "Had a wonderful evening yesterday at the Visionary Honours Awards, so lovely to meet such talented and creative people!

"I am beyond flattered to have won the inspirational person of the year award.

"I always believe the most important people are the ones who we inspire. For me it is the deaf people who have become more confident and prouder of their identity and the hearing people who want to learn more and to do better. That is where the real change happens."

Her comments received some 31.6k likes and over 500 comments.

Among those responding to the post was BBC Strictly host Tess Daly who replied the three heart eye emojis, and fellow strictly dancer John Whaite who said: "Richly deserved. Inspiration to many" alongside heart emojis.

While fellow EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal, who plays Suki Panesar in the show said "Congratulations beautiful human xxx"
