Rose Ayling-Ellis thrilled as Strictly fan sends her a bunch of flowers on tour AND a very cheeky message
ROSE Ayling-Ellis was left thrilled after a Strictly Come Dancing fan sent her a sweet bunch of flowers - and a very cheeky message.
Actress Rose, 27, posted a snap of the flowers on her Instagram story, revealing they were sent by a four-year-old supporter called Billy.
Writing in the accompanying note, Billy told how his mum had made a cheeky comment about the male Strictly professionals.
He wrote: "To Rose, my name is Billy and I am four-years-old. I love watching Strictly Come Dancing.
"Me and mummy would watch it after I came back from football on a Sunday with a hot chocolate. I don't like the results show as I cry when the lights go red and music comes on. It makes me very sad.
"I am very excited to see you in real life tonight, I think you are beautiful (all the dancers are). My mummy says she wouldn't kick any of the male professional dancers out, especially Aljaz and Giovanni, but I don't know what she means by that!!!"
Rose, who's currently on the Strictly tour, wrote alongside the snap of his gift: "Thank you Billy, this is so adorable!"
After making history by becoming the first deaf contestant on the show, Rose has thrown her weight behind the campaign for the new "Rose Ayling-Ellis law" which is set to give British Sign Language legal status for the first time.
