Can Rose Ayling-Ellis hear the music on Strictly Come Dancing?
Rose previously explained how she is able to pick up the beat of the music, so that she can dance in time to the music on Strictly.
The EastEnders actress told BBC News: "It is a common misconception that deaf people can't enjoy music.
"I have a hearing aid, so I pick up some of the music and I can hear the beat. I can hear someone singing, but I can't identify exact words. I also feel the vibrations."
This means the vibrations from the live band led by Dave Arch can be felt through the large dancefloor at the show's Elstree studios.
The actress also said that she is able to use her professional partner for guidance to stay in time with the rhythm.
