The Duchess of Cornwall has called Strictly Come Dancing champion Rose Ayling-Ellis a “star”, adding that her family had voted for her on the BBC One show - while on a visit to the set of EastEnders. Charles and Camilla were guided around Albert Square on the Elstree set before meeting the soap’s cast and crew who had finished filming an episode in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Deaf actress Ayling-Ellis, who plays Frankie Lewis in the show, presented Camilla with a bouquet of flowers, adding that it was an “honour” to meet the duchess. Camilla, who was wearing a silk dress and cream coat by Anna Valentine, said: “Rose, the Strictly star.
“I said we were all voting for Rose. I don’t know how you did all those dances.”
