Strictly Come Dancing fans say they have spotted 'a change' in Giovanni Pernice after dancing with Rose Ayling-Ellis.
Rose returned to the Strictly ballroom after making history with her perfect tango last week.
The EastEnders actress scored full marks for the routine, the earliest in the series judges have handed out 40 points.

She attempted to live up to her victory with a samba to Cinema Italiano by Kate Hudson with Giovanni.
Judge Anton Du Beke said he felt it was "one of your most nervous performances", but added she "did some brilliant things".
Craig Revel Horwood said he disagreed she felt nervous, but said the dance "could have had a little bit more fluidity".
Motsi Mabuse praised the duo for being "such a strong team", while Shirley Ballas told Giovanni he is "second to none when it comes to teaching these skills".
They received a score of 32, their highest marking for a Latin dance.
Giovanni also caught viewers' attention as they commented on his relationship with Rose.
According to the M.E.N, one fan said: "Giovanni is so different this series - replaced, happy, entertaining - a good partner makes the difference. My winner!"
"[Rose emoji] has definitely changed him," another replied.
A third added: "I love how this series we've really seen a change in Giovanni, it's beautiful to witness #Strictly."
