At just 29, she has been pioneering efforts to increase the representation of deaf communities in TV and media, collaborating with organisations like CBBC and Mattel, creators of Barbie, fostering greater inclusivity.While she initially rose to fame as Frankie Lewis on EastEnders, Rose garnered further acclaim by participating in and triumphantly winning the 19th season of Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, Wales Online reports.

She was the show's first deaf contestant and shared ahead of the series: "I have a hearing aid, so I pick up some of the music and I can hear the beat.

I can hear someone singing, but I can't identify exact words. I also feel the vibration."While on the BBC dance competition, her performance was nothing short of sensational, achieving the earliest 'perfect score' of 40 in the show's illustrious history with dance partner Giovanni Pernice.One moment in particular continues to resonate with Strictly fans, who fondly recall the week eight rumba that incorporated a poignant period of silence, honouring the deaf community.The highly emotional performance garnered acclaim from both the judging panel and the public.
