Rose Ayling-Ellis

Rose Ayling-Ellis found her passion for acting in her childhood when she was at a filming event led by the National Deaf Children’s Society.

It was there when she met film director Ted Evans who later cast her in his award-winning short movie titled The End (2011).

She then proceeded to apply to Deafinitely Youth Theater before continuing her studies at the University for the Creative Arts and pursuing a degree in fashion design.

From that point forward, she started showing up on a few TV series such as Casualty (2017), Summer of Rockets (2019), and, her first breakthrough, EastEnders (2020).

In the TV series EastEnders (2020), she impacted the world forever as the soap’s very first deaf actress to play a deaf character who uses the means of British Sign Language to communicate with people.

Another breakthrough came when she competed in the TV show Strictly Come Dancing in 2021. She was the first ever deaf entertainer to participate in the show.
