Rose Ayling-Ellis prompted some major and important changes to Loose Women, as she joined the show on Wednesday for a pioneering special episode.
It's been 18 months since Rose made Strictly Come Dancing history by being the first deaf contestant to take part in the BBC series, going onto lift the Glitterball trophy with pro partner Giovanni Pernice in the final. The pair then collected a BAFTA award for the Must See Moment in recognition of their amazing Couple's Choice routine, which saw them dance to 10 seconds of total silence, in support of the deaf community.
Since winning Strictly, Rose has left EastEnders and gone onto land an Olivier Award nomination for her role in the revival of As You Like It. And this week she's added another string to her bow, by becoming a guest panellist on Loose Women.
