Strictly champion and EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis opens up on impact winning the show had
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 loved dressing up and the hair and make-up every week. That was the most exciting thing.”
“When you’re in Strictly you’re in a bubble and you don’t really see what’s going on in the outside world,” Rose tells us over Zoom, joined by her sign language interpreter Kirsty Edwards. I actually feel really excited to watch this year because now I can watch it knowing what they’ve experienced and what’s going throughAnd I can actually judge if they’re doing the right dance or not. I’ll be like a judge, I’ll have to get my own number paddle!Yes, for sure. After what we went through, how could we not stay in touch? He’s so busy on his tour and then he’s back in Strictly rehearsals, but we keep in touch and we text.
It’s the things deaf people have been fighting for for years and it’s happened in the past year, which is incredible. Obviously, I wanted to do the community proud but all I can do is be myself and spread awareness, and hopefully people will listen.Definitely. There was a woman who came up to me and said that she’d been discriminated against badly at work and she went to court to fight her case and it wasn’t going anywhere.
There is literally someone behind it who is turning the washing machine round and round. I didn’t know that when I started and I was like, “Ooh!”
