Strictly star Rose Ayling-Ellis looks physically sick as ‘sweaty’ Giovanni gets a little too close

He declared people would 'pay' for his sweat

Strictly Come Dancing star Rose Ayling-Ellis left viewers of last night’s It Takes Two (December 9) “cackling” as she turned her nose up at “sweaty” pro partner Giovanni Pernice.

The pair appeared on the BBC2 spin-off show to chat to host Janette Manrara.

And viewers at home were in hysterics at the pair as Janette showed a clip of them in training.

What did Rose say about Strictly pro Giovanni?

The VT showed the pair practising for their upcoming Argentine Tango.

During the routine, the pair get VERY close.

And, as Giovanni fans up and down the country admitted they would “pay” to swap places with the EastEnders actress, Rose had a different reaction.

“Sweaty,” she declared, poking her tongue out and wiping her hand on her top.

“Stop doing the sweaty!” Strictly pro Gio told her.

“But you’re very sweaty,” she told him.

“People would pay to have this sweat. People would pay to be that close to me,” he joked to Rose.

Host Janette added: “People would pay and they’re lining up outside Giovanni.”

“He is very sweaty but apparently it’s very expensive sweat,” she continued.

“Such expensive sweat,” Rose declared.

How did Strictly fans react?

Despite the price Giovanni has apparently put on his sweat, there were indeed people lining up to get drenched in it!

“I would pay Gio!” admitted one fan of the dancer.

“I don’t think Gio is all that far off the mark saying people would pay for his sweat,” said another.

“I would gladly spray myself with Eau de Parfum…. Sudore di Gio,” declared another.

“I’d definitely pay!” admitted another.

Others were left in tears of laughter over the “brilliant” pair.

Rose and Giovanni on It Takes Two just cracked me up ….. ‘stop going on about sweaty,'” joked another.

“Absolutely hilarious. Tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks,” another revealed.
