Fans were quick to flood the comments with messages of support, with one person writing: "Love this!! It absolutely should! You have inspired me to learn," while another fan added: "Absolutely make BSL a legally recognised language - it should've been done years ago. Well done Rose for being such a fantastic ambassador."
Rose's Strictly castmates joined her in the Instagram video
The EastEnders actress, who was Strictly's first deaf contestant, has been campaigning to give the language legal protection and had been in talks with Labour MP Rosie Cooper about her Bill in Parliament, which aims to declare BSL as an official language of the UK.
Rose's influence has led to the implementation of BSL interpreters on the Strictly tour.
Speaking about her campaign on This Morning earlier this month, she said: "It's been recognised as a language, but it's not been official. That becomes such a big problem.
Rose's influence has led to BSL sign interpreters joining the Strictly tour
"I have heard so many stories about deaf people going to a doctor appointment and they ask for an interpreter and they don't refer them an interpreter, so they end up needing their child to translate, or a family member. That shouldn't be.
"Because it's not an official language, we can't do anything about it."
