The star, who is the first deaf contestant to ever take part in the show, is favourite to win the hit BBC dancing competition.

They have picked their Couple's Choice dance, which stunned the nation as the duo danced in silence for a section during the middle of their routine.

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

But some fans were unsure of the choice.

They took to Twitter to comment that they thought the special moment in their Couple's Choice dance relied on surprise.

Sia wrote: "I didn't want Rose and Giovanni to do the Couples Choice because I don't think the silent moment will have the same impact again BUT it's a chance for Rose to really smash the technique! AND I know I'll cry. #Strictly"

Strictly Stats said: "Bit surprised Rose & Giovanni are doing their couple’s choice again. I thought they would have the same opinion as Jay & Aliona did with their Jive in that they couldn’t do it again. #Strictly #ItTakesTwo."

But others were overjoyed to see the couple recreating the moment again.

Annabel said: "rose & gio are doing their couples choice again!!! that makes me so happy because it’s the dance that really shows their special connection omg it’s so beautiful."
