"It's very clear that Giovanni thinks the absolute world of Rose," explained Darren. "You will notice that when they are together, either in photographs or video footage of interviews, he often has his hand positioned on Rose's waist or will kiss her forehead in a platonic way. This shows that as well as feeling protective of Rose, he has connected on a deep level with her."
Discussing their platonic relationship, Darren explained how Rose particularly holds a "deep affection" for Giovanni. "They have just about the deepest level of rapport you can get as friends," he added.

"You may have noticed the way the pair look at each other when performing together - this intense stare, which is a common occurrence, could set paper alight and it's clear the chemistry between the two is purely electric.
"It's clear that Rose holds a deep affection and has a lot of respect for Giovanni, who has become a very close friend to her."
Asked about their eye contact during intense dance routines, Darren revealed how the pair are prone to naturally mirror each other.
"The pair often share extended periods of eye contact - more than five seconds, adopt similar postures and mirror each other's gestures," he added.

"Either with their faces, hands or body position, and the way they allow each other within their own proximal zones nods to the bond they share.
"It's these non-verbal signs that tell me the feelings of friendship and gratitude they have for one another are equally reciprocated."
Their recent win on Strictly has gone down in history, highlighting the needs and awareness for the deaf community.
