Strictly Come Dancing champion Rose Ayling-Ellis has shared an insight as she returns to filming BBC soap EastEnders.
The actress who won the BBC One dancing show took time off from the soap to put all her time into training for Strictly.
Rose, who plays Frankie Lewis in EastEnders, told Metro.co.uk: “Normally, EastEnders makes you work at the same time as doing Strictly, but EastEnders gave me time off, so I can just focus on Strictly completely.”
Her character left Albert Square last year to spend time with a friend.

A spokesperson for EastEnders said: “Danny will be leaving EastEnders when his contract comes to an end later this year.
“Danny has made Mick Carter an iconic character which we shall always be grateful for, however we won’t be saying goodbye just yet as there’s still quite some time – and plenty of explosive drama for Mick – to come before he departs Walford.”
