Rose Ayling-Ellis has made sure she stayed true to her word as fans spotted a brilliant detail in a celebratory snap.
The EastEnders actress and professional partner Giovanni Pernice were crowned Strictly Come Dancing winners after an emotional final on Saturday night.
There were tears aplenty as Rose and Giovanni and John Whaite and Johannes Radebe took to the Ballroom floor for the final time.
The BBC One competition ended in a two-couple race after AJ Odudu suffered an injury that forced her and pro partner Kai Widdrington out of the final.

The remaining two pairs performed three dances each with the judges giving their scores as usual which left both Rose and John tied before the public vote.
And it was Rose and Giovanni who were eventually awarded the Glitterball trophy with 11 million people tuning in to see their victory.
Reacting to his win seven years after joining the BBC show, Giovanni said: "Incredible. I have to say thank you to this beautiful young lady who made all my dreams come true.
"It took me seven years to get that thing and you became the best dancer, the best teammate I could have asked for, you are a dream so thank you for everything."
In an interview with The Guardian, soap star Rose said she had an out-of-body experience when she found out that she had won - and how she celebrated afterwards.
After being sidelined at the last minute, AJ cheered on her fellow finalists in the audience with the other stars of Strictly 2021.
The TV presenter shared a photo of herself alongside Rose earlier on in the competition.
"Aww me and you @rose.a.e from start to finish. What champs you & @pernicegiovann1 truly are," she started the caption of the post.
"Congratulations, not just for all that you brought to the dancefloor but for showing everyone, there's nothing that can't be achieved," she added.
The other photo showed them on Saturday night after Rose won the Glitterball trophy.
AJ looked stunning in a silver dress with her boot protecting her ankle and foot also full of sparkles.
Rose also got the silver memo in a sequined mini dress with feathers down the sleeves.
But it's what the new Strictly winner teamed with the dress that had fans talking.
@xloucliftonx said: "Love these pictures especially the boots that rose is wearing from her samba."
"She’s got her white boots, like she said she would. You are so gracious AJ. Great to see the two of you together. All three finalist couples were inspiring," @originalfoots commented.
@anna.from.here added: "She said she loved those boots. You are both amazing have loved every second of this series."
Earlier in the series, Rose vowed to take a pair of white boots home with her after wearing them during a routine.
Responding to AJ's post, Rose commented: "Awww we made it all the way! You should be so proud of yourself."
