Ross cha-cha’ed to Katy Perry‘s California Girls – and his gorgeous girlfriend flew 5000 miles from LA just to be there with him.
As Ross and Jowita waited to hear their scores from the judges, Ross mentioned that his partner had come down with him.
“It’s so lovely that my girlfriend flew all the way, 5000 miles.
“I said, ‘come tonight Bridget,’ because there might not be too many of these.”
It would take a lot to take me away from LA.
But on last week’s episode of the How To Be 60 podcast hosted by Kaye Adams, Ross was asked if he planned to stay in LA.
He replied: “Oh yeah, I love LA. Who knows what happens in the future but it would take a lot to take me away from LA.
“I love the place. I’ve got a great life there. I’ve got a beautiful, lovely girlfriend Bridget.
“We have a great time there. So it’s very much home.”
Ross’ relationship with Bridget comes after his divorce from Brianna Deutsch.
It was Ross’ second marriage, which ended after seven years.
Before that he was married to Charley King from 1999 until 2006.
But will the star ever get married again?
I’m such a great believer in love.
Ross chimed: “Never say never again. How about that?
When pushed on his response and asked: “You’re not saying no?”

He replied: “Oh no. Absolutely not. I’m such a great believer in love.
“It’s certainly not one of those things, having been married twice before. Either I’m really bad at it or I could be really good at it in the future, I don’t know.
“It depends which way you look at it: The glass is half full or the glass is half empty.
“But no, no, no, I’m a great believer in love. I feel very fortunate with Bridget that I’ve found someone who is just absolutely brilliant in every way, so I’m very very fortunate.”
I’ve got enough money now for the rest of my life – if I die next Tuesday!
Ross explained that the pair had been together nearly three years and that they were “very, very lucky.”
So what is his hope’s for his 60s?
“If I continue to be like I am, to hopefully be as healthy, to continue to work in some way shape or form. I’ve certainly got no intentions of ever not working.
“I’m in a very fortunate position. I’ve got enough money now for the rest of my life – if I die next Tuesday!
“But apart from that, you appreciate every single moment. And it’s to live every single moment,” he explained.
As for those scores – well despite receiving the second lowest score in the first week of Strictly’s history – a 10 overall – Ross appeared as happy as ever to be in the show.
