Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice has once again shown his support for Rose Ayling-Ellie as she returned to screens with a very personal project. The former EastEnders actress' first documentary aired on BBC One on Monday night (June 26), titled Signs for Change.
It showed Rose, who played Frankie Lewis in the BBC One soap, giving a personal journey into what it's like to grow up deaf and saw her ask whether attitudes are finally changing toward the deaf community. "When I was growing up, I never dreamt I would become the first regular deaf character in EastEnders. Or that I would end up winning Strictly Come Dancing," she said to the camera in the programme.
She proudly told that "being deaf is my proudest identity", however, she also admitted that she has to "multitask every day" as she uses lip-reading, and sign language to understand what is being said to her and in the hearing world around her.

It also saw Rose make a surprising discovery about herself. The former soap star, who was born deaf to hearing parents, was seen bravely agreeing to take a test in both English and BSL to determine her reading age.
The results shocked her as the Strictly winner discovered that her own reading age is that of a 13-year-old, less than half of her real age, while she rated 28 out of 40 for BSL.
Taking to Instagram before the hour-long documentary aired, Rose wrote: "We have spent a year making this documentary and now it is out in the open for everyone to see. It is surely the most personal project I have worked on. I wanted to be open so it can hopefully change things for the better.
