Strictly Come Dancing fans said they got 'shivers' as they watched Rose and Giovanni perform an emotional foxtrot routine together.

The EastEnders actress, who plays Frankie Lewis on the BBC soap, left viewers sobbing as they praised her 'perfect' routine, despite the fact she was unable to hear the music.

The pair wowed the crowd as they stared into each other's eyes and slowly moved around the dance floor to My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion, from the Titanic movie.

Over on Twitter, fans praised the incredible dance.

"Rose & Giovanni got me sobbing into my prosecco and I ain't even ashamed," one person wrote.

A second shared: "Rose’s dance was beautiful in every way. Moved me."

"Oh my goodness, Rose and Giovanni were just perfect. I’m not crying you are…" a third added.

And a fourth penned: " Rose and Giovanni giving us as viewers one of the best dances on #StrictlyComeDancing without Rose even being able to hear the music. My heart. What a talent."

It was an emotional performance and even left the judges speechless.

Craig Revel-Horwood said the routine was: "A-MAZE-ING," and the dancing pair received 36 points for their performance, which put them at the top of the leaderboard.

It wasn't the first time fans of the show were left in tears tonight, as they were blown away by the opening dance.

The Strictly stars appeared to make fans sob as they gracefully swept their way around the dance floor in sync.
