Rose Ayling-Ellis has spoken out about her EastEnders exit, as news of her departure left fans gutted.
Rose, who won Strictly Come Dancing alongside Giovanni Pernice in 2021, has been playing Frankie Lewis in the BBC soap 2020, but it has now been confirmed that she will soon be bidding goodbye to Albert Square.
Rose's character Frankie arrived in EastEnders in rather controversial circumstances, as the daughter of Mick Carter; the child he had after being groomed and then forced into sex as a youngster. After initially being left in shock by appearing in the Square, Mick welcomed Frankie into the family, with Rose being left upset by the exit of her on-screen sister Maddy Hill just a few months ago.
