"It does send out a powerful message, but I want to carry on with the work. That's what's most important to manage. It doesn't just stop there… I think it made people realise that I'm more capable than I seem. And now I've got more opportunities because of that."

Rose's Strictly prediction comes after she celebrated some incredible career news. Last week, the actress took to Instagram to announce her BAFTA Breakthrough nomination. Alongside a pair of stunning snaps, she penned: "Breaking through in the industry as an actor is really hard, but when you have a disability it's even harder.

"I want to do more acting. I'm really passionate about that, but opportunities don't come to me very often. BAFTA Breakthrough is a programme for opportunity, so I'm hoping it will provide me with more."
Rose's BAFTA Breakthrough achievement will see her and the other 19 artists enjoy a year-long mentoring and guidance programme.

According to BAFTA, "Successful Breakthroughs receive voting membership of BAFTA for a year, giving them free access to BAFTA events and screenings and to the members' space at 195 Piccadilly. In addition, BAFTA supports each Breakthrough individually; we work with them to create a tailored year of support, mentoring and career development."
Speaking about her successful nomination, Rose gushed: "It means quite a lot to be a BAFTA Breakthrough because I am very, very passionate of making a change in the industry and encouraging more disability on the screen. We don't see them very often."
