Strictly winner Rose Ayling-Ellis cast in Doctor Who ‘Being cast in the show is a dream come true,’ the former soap star said.
Doctor Who has cast Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis in the forthcoming new series, which is set to air in 2025.
Ayling-Ellis, who won the BBC dancing competition as the show’s first ever deaf contestant in 2021, will join Ncuti Gatwa for his second season as the Time Lord.
She was also the first deaf person to host a live sports show, presenting the Paralympic Games in France for Channel 4 this summer.
Ncuti is a wonderful Doctor, and I can’t wait for audiences to see what we have created together.”.
