Rose Ayling Ellis - Performer | BAFTA Breakthrough 2022

If you need convincing about the potential talent that can be unlocked through greater inclusion and the wider impact this can have on society, then perhaps Rose Ayling-Ellis can provide it. Deaf since birth, Rose has consistently defied her doubters, not only demonstrating a talent for acting in the likes of Stephen Poliakoff’s Summer of Rockets (2019) and as a regular on EastEnders (2020-2022), but also winning Strictly Come Dancing (2021) with pro dancer Giovanni Pernice. Their silent Couple’s Choice dance won a BAFTA this year in the publicly voted Virgin Media Must-see Moment category. Rose is about to make her West End debut as Celia in Shakespeare’s As You Like It. It’s a far cry from when Rose was scrambling around Facebook, agent-less, searching for work. Supported by Netflix.
