Rose Ayling-Ellis’ boyfriend Sam Arnold was spotted in the Strictly Come Dancing audience where could be seen cheering her on.
It’s thought that this may have been the first time he’s been shown watching Rose from the audience on the hit BBC show.
The pair havebeen together for seven years,and fans were concerned that he wouldn’t be in attendance after he failed to appear in a good luck video from Rose’s family that was shown to the EastEnders actor on It Takes Two.
Despite their concerns, this didn’t end up being the case as Sam was shown in the audience next to a woman thought to be Rose’s mum.
In the video shown to Rose ahead of the final, viewers were left confused whenSam didn’t feature in the heartfelt clip.
“Where was Rose’s boyfriend?”, one person tweeted after seeing the video.
“How come they’ve never had Rose’s boyfriend on?”, another wrote.
While Sam didn’t star in the clip, the rest of Rose’s friends and family gushed over her while wishing her luck.

Her mum Donna said: “As a little girl, she was always really happy, always laughing, never frightened of anything.
"The most brave person I know actually. The thing that made me cry was her happiness. It just showed how proud she was of her deaf identity."
"I'm just so happy that they get to watch Rose and it's Rose and she's my daughter and I'm so proud,” she added.
Rose's brother Jacob added: "When I first found out about Rose on Strictly, I think – it was just absolutely mind-blowing. To see her get the earliest 40 in Strictly history, it just summed up how hard she's been working.
"She's just powering through and saying to the public, I can do everything that anyone else can do if I'm given that opportunity."
While Rose has a long-term boyfriend,many Strictly viewers believe that her dance partner Giovanni Pernice has feelings for her.
In light of their ongoing on-screen chemistry over the course of the competition, fans of the show have often taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the potential blossoming romance between the two.
One viewer insisted: "Giovanni is madly in love and you’ll not convince me otherwise.”
Another added: "Rose and Giovanni are a Hallmark movie waiting to happen."
“The love @RoseAylingEllis and @pernicegiovann1 have for each other is so pure,” a third penned.
