Strictly winner Rose Ayling-Ellis' reason for not appearing in anniversary special 'revealed' Strictly Come Dancing champ Rose Ayling-Ellis was absent from the anniversary special which aired this weekend.
A source has however claimed to the Sun that Rose does not want to discuss her time on the show with Giovanni, who has faced scandal this year over complaints about him.
Strictly Come Dancing: 20 Fabulous Years aired on Saturday in celebration of the BBC show's 20th anniversary this year.
An internal investigation was even launched into claims made by fellow actor Amanda Abbington, now 50, who had been partnered with him on Strictly last year.
Rose, 30, was however not among them, despite having made history in 2021 when she became the first deaf contestant.
