Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis is rumoured to be under consideration for an honour from the Queen. The EastEnders actress could receive an MBE for her work with the deaf community.
Rose has gone on to campaign for British Sign Language to be given legal status since her win with Giovanni Pernice on the hit BBC dancing show. The pair also raised awareness with their poignant couple’s choice dance where the music fell silent.
The Sun on Sunday reported: “She is now in the frame for a gong for services to the deaf community, thanks to her ballroom triumph on the BBC’s Strictly. Her performances – including one with a silent section – sent enrolments for sign-language courses soaring.”
