Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis has revealed her next career move after announcing her exit from BBC soap EastEnders last week. The 27-year-old will be fronting a "hard-hitting" documentary on the BBC aiming to reveal the daily challenges, discrimination and barriers faced by the deaf community.
In 2020, Rose became the first deaf actor to play a regular deaf character on BBC One's long-running drama, starring as Frankie Lewis. But on August 18, she announced she would be leaving Albert Square adding how she was "ready for new challenges".
The news of the one-off documentary, currently titled Signs For Change, was revealed at the Edinburgh TV Festival - where Rose has also given a Alternative MacTaggart lecture. It was one of three major BBC commissions announced at the festival.
