Strictly Come Dancing's Rose Ayling-Ellis 'honoured' as she shares special news with fans

A former EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing star has been given her own portrait in The National Portrait Gallery. Rose Ayling-Ellis shared the news with her fans, saying she is both "honoured and moved."

Rose recently visited the gallery so she could see herself up on the wall, and shared several clips from the trip on Instagram. The 28 year old could be seen beaming as she posed alongside her portrait, and also got to see the portraits of the Prince and Princess of Wales and singer Ed Sheeran.

In her post, the Strictly Come Dancing winner explained: "This evening was a real pinch-me moment because a photo of me is displayed at The National Portrait Gallery in the 'History Makers Now' selection. A 16-year-old me studying Art and visiting all these galleries would not believe my face would one day be on the gallery wall reports Manchester Evening News.
