A second wrote: “Those sleeves! You look amazing.”
A third shared: “WOW you look stunning Rose.”
However, others have shared their concerns for Rose and Giovanni on the tour.
Fans fear for the Strictly winners
It comes after pro Nikita Kuzmin tested positive for Covid-19, forcing him to pull out of future dates.
And fans are afraid the same thing may happen to champions Rose and Giovanni.
One worried fan tweeted: “Watching the #Strictly tour Instagram stories with mounting anxiety.
“That case of Covid in the cast better not get to Rose and Giovanni before the Glasgow date or my 5 year old’s emotions might actually flood the Hydro.”
