Rose Ayling-Ellis has revealed the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour will have a British Sign Language interpreter projected on big screens for the audience to see. 

The 2021 Strictly winner said she hoped to make the live show more inclusive by having a BSL interpreter there for audience members.

Ayling-Ellis won the show with professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice and they wowed the audience with their performances. 

A highlight of the series was the couple's dance to Symphony by Clean Bandit featuring Zara Larsson, which had a silent sequence in recognition of the deaf community. 

The live tour will kick off in Birmingham on January 20 and finish at The O2 in London on February 13. 

Ayling-Ellis, 27 said: ”I’m delighted that every performance of the Strictly Live Tour will be signed by a BSL interpreter and put on to the screens so the whole audience will be able to see it.

“With 33 shows across the country, I really hope this news encourages more deaf people of all ages to come and enjoy the show.”

Speaking on This Morning on January 11, Pernice said: "Rose opened my eyes. A lot of people want to come and watch the show I want to include them - I think it's about time. And also she is coming to watch the show. I want her to enjoy it."
