The EastEnders actress, who is the first deaf contestant to ever take part in Strictly, has so far been dominating the competition, nearing the top of the leaderboard every week, and becoming the first contestant to get a perfect score of 40 in Halloween week. However, the latest video of the star caused concern as professional partner Giovanni Pernice showed the young actress looking worse for wear after a tough day of rehearsals.

Taking to Instagram, the video showed Rose coughing and spluttering in a short video.

Although there is no official evidence to suggest that the star is ill, this is not the first time in the current series where a contestant has had to pull out of the competition due to illness – meaning fan favourite Rose could be the next.

This would follow Tom Fletcher and Judi Love were both forced to pull out for a week after testing positive for Covid-19.

More worryingly was the departure of Robert Webb who had to quit the entire competition – just days before the fourth live episode.

The Peep Show star explained at the time that this was due to recurring symptoms he felt after his recurring heart surgery.

As well as this, now eliminated contestant Ugo Monye, who was partnered with two-time champion Oti Mabuse also had to have a week off of the show due to ongoing injuries after emergency surgery on his back.

Despite the ailments of her fellow contestants, Rose has had to work harder than most during Strictly rehearsals, due to not being able to hear the music.

“I’m not really relying on the music,” Rose explained when talking about how she is going to train for the dancing competition.

“I’m relying on counting and the beat. Giovanni is helping me with counting to make sure I get my count first, start[ing] at the most important beat, and then hopefully from onwards it’s okay.”

Talking on Good Morning Britain, head judge Shirley Ballas also revealed that those in the studio are not allowed to clap when the couple are dancing, so that Rose can hear the vibrations of the music.

This week the pair are taking on their contemporary couple’s choice dance, which has set a whole new challenge for Rose – one that she explained on It Takes Two is causing her significant pain.

Elaborating to host Janette Manrara, Rose said: “It’s very different to everything I have done before, it’s more free.

“It’s nice to not have a traditional rule, it’s nice to not have that for the moment and just tell a story.”

Due to the genre of their dance, the pair are dancing barefoot, an adjustment that Rose has found particularly difficult.

Talking about the pain she suffered, Rose said: “It’s nice to not wear heels for one week, but it’s actually hurt my leg because my muscles are so used to wearing heels.”

Despite the painful adjustment, Rose is fully committing herself to the competition, even more so as she has taken a brief exit from her role as Frankie Lewis on EastEnders.

In a heartbreaking episode, the star was seen exiting the square after a feud with sister Nancy Carter. The 26-year-old told Metro: “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.”

If this force of nature wasn’t enough, Rose has also sparked big changes for the deaf community through her dancing. The star, who was born deaf, and uses a mixture of oral English and British Sign Language (BSL) to communicate, has led to a 488 percent increase in the Google search for the term sign-language.

In addition, more than 1,200 people applied for trial lessons in one week, compared to just 20 or 30 people in a regular week. This was mainly after Rose and Giovanni featured sign-language within their Viennese Waltz routine, making a strong impression on viewers.

Hearing loss or deafness can sometimes be sudden, but more often happens gradually. It can be temporary or permanent, and learning BSL enables individuals to communicate with other people.

The NHS explains that the general signs of hearing loss to look out for include:

• Difficulty hearing other people clearly and misunderstanding what they say, especially in noisy places
• Asking people to repeat themselves
• Listening to music or watching TV with the volume higher than other people need
• Difficulty hearing on the phone
• Finding it hard to keep up with a conversation
• Feeling tired or stressed from having to concentrate while listening.
