Rose Ayling-Ellis will soon be back on the small screen as her TV return has been revealed. The former EastEnders star who played Mick Carter's long-lost daughter Frankie Lewis on the BBC One soap, left Albert Square last year after winning Strictly Come Dancing.
The actress stole hearts as the first ideal contestant to ever take part in the hit BBC dance contest before going on to win the 2021 series alongside professional dancer Giovanni Pernice. The pair's friendship as well as skills on the dancefloor clinched them the Glitterball trophy before they won a Bafta TV award for their emotional 'silent' dance.
She has since reunuiited with her former dance partner and fellow Strictly favourite Anton Du Beke on their BBC road trip series Adventures in Sicily. But Rose is now set to back her TV return surrounded by some other familiar faces.
