BAFTA ‘Breakthrough Brit’ Rose Ayling-Ellis MBE recently became the first deaf presenter of live sport when she presented at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. She has since been nominated in the ‘Under 30 Gamechanger / Innovator of the Year’ category at the 2024 Broadcast Sports Awards.
Her 2023 documentary Signs for Change, created with Rogan Productions, was nominated for a 2024 BAFTA Craft Award and Rose was shortlisted for ‘Best Documentary Presenter’ at the Grierson 2024 British Documentary Awards. The BBC announced her new two-part documentary series with Rogan, Signs for Living, at this year’s Edinburgh TV Festival and she recently finished shooting the groundbreaking programme.
Also this year, Rose filmed BBC thriller Reunion, starred in an episode of The BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are and is currently working on Mammoth Screen’s Code of Silence for ITV. Last year she made her stage debut as ‘Celia’ in Josie Rourke’s As You Like It and received the Stage Debut Award for ‘Best West End Debut’, an Olivier Award nomination for ‘Best Actress in a Supporting Role’, and a prestigious Ian Charleson Award nomination for the role.
DK Children’s has announced a 10-book, multi-format deal with BAFTA winning actress and advocate. The first title will be Rose Knows: The Amazing Story of Communication, a colour non-fiction title due in hardback in April 2025.
