Rose Ayling-Ellis is well-known for appearing on the likes of EastEnders as well as winning Strictly Come Dancing with partner Giovanni Pernice last year.
However away from the screen, the 27-year-old has been campaigning for more to be done when it comes to the deaf community in a bid to ensure they are not excluded.
Speaking during the Alternative MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival, the actress opened up about the challenges those who cannot hear face, urging TV channels to "fix their problem" and subtitle every show. It comes as the actress announced earlier this month she would be leaving her role as in EastEnders.
