Rose Ayling-Ellis, known for her role as Frankie Lewis on EastEnders and for winning Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, is set to make her mark on the iconic sci-fi show, Doctor Who. She will be joining the star-studded cast of season 15, which already includes names like Jonathan Groff and Callie Cooke. Showrunner Russell T Davies has confirmed that Ayling-Ellis will be starring in an episode that is set to be the scariest in the show's history.
In a recent Q&A, Davies shared his excitement about Ayling-Ellis' role, stating that she will be the lead in the episode and that it will be absolutely terrifying. He praised her performance, saying she is "magnificent" and that it will be a treat for audiences to see her alongside other phenomenal guest actors, including Ncuti Gatwa.

She also had high praise for her co-star Ncuti Gatwa, who plays the Doctor, and can't wait for fans to see what they have created together.
Aside from her upcoming role on Doctor Who, Ayling-Ellis has been making waves in other areas as well.

She also made history as the first deaf person to host a live sports TV show during the Paralympics, where she co-hosted Afternoon Live with Clare Balding.
Speaking about the opportunity, Ayling-Ellis shared that it was a great chance to show people what disabled individuals are capable of.
