Strictly’s Rose Ayling-Ellis wows in string bikini during ‘dream’ getaway

Strictly star Rose Ayling-Ellis rocked a flattering black bikini as she soaked up the sun during her Maldives getaway.

Taking to Instagram, the EastEnders actress shared a carousel of snaps from her lavish holiday. In one photo, the 27-year-old looked simply stunning as she relaxed on the shoreline wearing a chic black bikini.

Rose moreover shared a mesmerising photograph of herself wading through the ocean at dusk. In the background, the setting sun appeared to melt into the deep blue night sky.

The star is currently staying in the Hard Rock Hotel in the Maldives with a friend just a few weeks after splitting from her long-term partner. The actress, who split with her boyfriend Sam Arnold after nearly ten years together in late August, called her friend Tobi the “best company” during their stay.

Gushing over her luxury trip, Rose captioned her photos: “This place is just insane. It is my first proper holiday in three years. Those who know me, know how much I love to travel so this is a dream.”

Her fans flocked to the comment section to heap praise on the star, with one writing: “Rose you look absolutely stunning have fab time,” whilst a second penned: “Stunning, and the last picture WOW.”

“Looks idyllic. You look positively glowing and as beautiful as ever,” wrote a third, and a fourth added: “What a stunning holiday location! You look so relaxed and happy!”

Rose’s Maldives trip comes after the former Strictly champ jetted off to Italy to meet Giovanni Pernice and his family. According to the MailOnline, Giovanni was reportedly filming a new BBC1 travel show with Anton Du Beke, 56, when Rose turned up to surprise the pair.

Since departing EastEnders, Rose has confirmed that she will be fronting a hard-hitting new documentary titled Signs For Change, all about the daily challenges, discrimination and barriers faced by deaf individuals.

According to the BBC, the documentary will allow Rose to explore positive movement for societal change and inclusion for deaf individuals by meeting trailblazers in the deaf community and emphasising the societal changes that can make a tremendous impact on people’s lives.
