Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice have set a new Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> record after becoming the first couple in the show\u2019s history to score a perfect 40 this early in the competition.<\/p>\n

Eastenders actress Ayling-Ellis stole the show on the night as she underwent a total transformation as an ice queen and cast a spell over the audience and judges alongside her dance partner Pernice.<\/p>\n

They performed a scintillating tango that was roundly met with a standing ovation and an outpouring of praise from the judges.<\/p>\n

All four of the expectant judges flashed 10s, including Craig Revel Horwood, to become the first couple of the 2021 series to rack up a perfect score. And it was enough to secure an impressive record in the process.<\/p>\n
