Last month the duo snagged the award for Virgin Media's Must-See Moment for their silent dance on Strictly, with Rochelle Humes using British Sign Language (BSL) as she presented the award.
Rose, who has been deaf since birth, explained her hopes that the dance can show 'how powerful TV can be' as she took to the stage to accept the award, sharing the difference that it has already made to the deaf community.
Giovanni told Lorraine the moving dance was 'definitely unforgettable'.
'After Rose, I want to make everything more inclusive as well,' he said.
