EastEnders actress and Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis took to Instagram to share a tribute to her best friend Tobi Leigh, a BSL interpreter.
The pals sat together on retro red bar stools in front of a fairground ride as they sipped on a drink.
Rose wore blue jeans and white trainers, with a high-neck black top and a red and blue baseball varsity jacket. She styled her blonde hair in a sleek ponytail and played with the ends as she stared lovingly at her friend.
Tobi wore loose black jeans with a black scoop necked top, styled with a red and black motocross jacket as she clutched a drink. She slung a cross body bag over her jacket to complete the look and wore her hair over her shoulder.

Rose captioned the picture with: “Happy Birthday Tobi. My best friend, my sidekick, my businesswoman, my stylist and a thousand more words to describe what you are to me. I love you.”
She ended the personal message by tagging her pal and the interpreter wrote back: “I love you so much, my best friend.”
The picture was taken as Rose, Tobi and their other Strictly friends enjoyed a night at the arcade together. Amongst the group were Neil Jones, Tilly Ramsay and Maisie Smith as the dancers celebrated a rare night off from this year’s Strictly Tour.
