Rose Ayling-Ellis has said she is 'honoured and moved' as she shared some exciting special news with her fans. The former EastEnders actress revealed that she has been given her own portrait in The National Portrait Gallery.
She paid the art gallery a visit to see herself up on the wall for the first time. Taking to Instagram, Rose, 28, beamed for the camera as she posed alongside her portrait as well as sharing clips of several people observing all the portraits at the gallery, including the Prince and Princess of Wales and singer Ed Sheeran.
"This evening was a real pinch-me moment because a photo of me is displayed at The National Portrait Gallery in the 'History Makers Now' selection," Rose, who played Frankie Lewis in BBC One soap EastEnders explained in the caption of her post.

"A 16-year-old me studying Art and visiting all these galleries would not believe my face would one day be on the gallery wall. I admit, I did tear up thinking how far I have come.
