As this year’s Strictly hopefuls get ready to slip on their sequins and strut their stuff, it’s not surprising to hear that last year’s winner, Rose Ayling-Ellis, is feeling a tug at her heartstrings.
“I really miss it,” the EastEnders actress, who was partnered with pro Giovanni Pernice, tells us. “I loved dressing up and the hair and make-up every week. That was the most exciting thing.”
Rose, 27, raised the profile of the deaf community by appearing in the BBC One show and she and Giovanni even won a BAFTA for their Couple’s Choice number – a dance to Clean Bandit’s Symphony with a silent section.
