Rose Ayling-Ellis takes some time off in the Maldives

In the photo, Rose emerged from the crystal clear water holding a snorkeling mask. She beamed at the camera as she posed in a red two-piece bikini.

While the pic was captioned "Instagram", she also shared a faraway shot of herself standing in the water. She captioned the photo "reality".

Rose zoomed in on the photo, in which her feet are distorted by the water. She wrote: "almost a mermaid".

Rose Ayling-Ellis also posted a photo from her cabana and wrote "finally arrived... heaven". The Strictly star is staying at the Hard Rock Hotel in the Maldives.

The five-star resort is located on Akasdhoo in the Maldives' South Male atoll. She's on a trip with her close friend Tobi.

It comes after Rose announced her split from long-time partner Sam Arnold. She also recently went to Italy with fellow Strictly star Giovanni Pernice. Giovanni was filming a travel show with Anton Du Beke and Rose showed up to surprise the pair. Rose recently left EastEnders, on which she'd played Frankie Lewis since 2020. Rose said of her exit: "It’s been incredibly special to be EastEnders’ first regular deaf actor. I have loved my time on the show and Frankie has been such an awesome character to play, however, now feels like the right time for me to move on and I am excited and ready for new challenges".

"I will always treasure my time on the show and all the incredible people I have worked with, who have supported my growth as an actor these last two years and given me so many amazing memories. I am excited for viewers to see Frankie’s exit storyline; I think it’s a really important one that will hit home for lots of people."
