Strictly Come Dancing's Rose and Gio get highest score of series and special message from Ed Sheeran

Strictly Come Dancing saw one couple cry with joy this week as they bagged full marks from the judges, and also received a special message from global superstar Ed Sheeran.

Actress Rose Ayling-Ellis and dance professional Giovanni Pernice dazzled the judges with their perfect Halloween dance on Saturday night, and scored an amazing 40 points.

The terrifying tango was not only spooktacular, but also marked the first 40 of the series which was said to be the earliest perfect score in the history of Strictly.

And - if that wasn't enough for the pair, Rose and Gio also received a personal message from global superstar Ed Sheeran, who thanked the couple for dancing to his new single, Shivers.

Rose was jumping for joy as Ed thanked the couple for performing his song, and getting the perfect score was the icing on the cake.
