Strictly's Rose Ayling-Ellis 'convinced creepy EastEnders set is haunted'

Rose Ayling-Ellis reportedly suspects the EastEnders set may actually be haunted.

The 26-year-old actress, who has played Frankie Lewis on the BBC soap since last year, is said to have had some spooky experiences whilst working on the show, reports the Daily Star.

According to the outlet, Rose has told friends she's witnessed doors opening and then slamming shut in front of her when no-one is around. And once, while filming late, she's said to have felt a presence near her and went cold.

A pal told the Daily Star: "Rose definitely feels there is someone or something haunting the place."

It comes amid reports that her Strictly Come Dancing co-stars have found the show's set in the BBC studios to be creepy.

Some participants, including Dan Walker and Sara Davies, are said to have seen lights flickering in the corridors whilst staying late to remove make-up and costumes recently.

Rose, who is partnered with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, is currently one of the favourites to win the current series - after impressing the judges and viewers.

During the recent Halloween week, the pair were heavily praised for their Tango to Ed Sheeran 's chart-topping track 'Shivers' - with Rose portraying an ice queen for the dance.

Anton Du Beke, the latest addition to the judging panel, described the performance as "perfect," with fellow judge Motsi Mabuse calling it "epic" and "out of this world."

The performance earned Rose and Giovanna a perfect score, with all four of the judges giving them 10. It meant they were top of the leaderboard at the end of the night.

And the show's co-host Claudia Winkleman even revealed that the pair had made history, commenting: "We have never had a 40 [this] early in the competition."

It likely came as no surprised to fans that Rose and Giovanna made it through to another week, alongside the likes of Tom Fletcher and his partner Amy Dowden.

Loose Women panelist and comedian Judi Love however became the fifth celebrity to be voted off the show, after competing against Adam Peaty in the latest dance off.

BBC viewers saw Judi, and dance partner Graziano Di Prima, take to the floor for a second time to perform their Cha Cha to Olivia Newton-John 's iconic track 'Physical.'

Following the performances in the dance off, the judges voted to save Olympic swimmer Adam and partner Katya Jones - ending Judi's experience on Strictly.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One this Saturday at 6.45pm. Catch-up on previous episodes via BBC iPlayer.
