MAURA Higgins shared a romantic note from her Strictly Come Dancing boyfriend Giovanni Pernice ahead of tonight’s show.
The Love Island star, 30, was moved by the heartfelt message as Giovanni, 31, went to prepare for his dance with EastEnders’ Rose Ayling-Ellis, 26.
He wrote: “Have a good day princess!
“I love you so much. Ti ado di piu [I adore you more]!!
“Yours forever.”
Maura has been fully supportive of Gio and Rose, wishing them luck ahead of the first dance of the series last week.
Alongside a photograph of the pair, she said: “The very best of luck to you both tonight. I know you will absolutely smash it.”
The actress is the first deaf contestant to take part in the competition, giving Giovanni the challenge of teaching in a new way.
Their Jive to Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off certainly proved a hit, scoring an impressive 22 points in week one.
The energetic routine drew praise from viewers, who were amazed by Rose’s ability to “feel” the music using the vibrations from the live band.
Tonight they will do a salsa to Cuba by The Gibson Brothers.
