Strictly fans complain that Rose and Giovanni's dance was 'sabotaged' by 'awful song'

They've moved fans to tears on Strictly Come Dancing with their powerful and moving performances.

But this week viewers complained that it was 'not that week' as Rose Ayling-Elllis and Giovanni Pernice performed the quickstep to Love Is An Open Door from the Disney film Frozen on the BBC dance contest.

Expectant fans flocked to grumble that they were distracted from the dancing by the 'awful song' during Musicals Week on Saturday night (November 20).
