Rose Ayling Ellis works with Barbie to release doll with hearing aid

Rose Ayling-Ellis has teamed up with Barbie to release their first doll with hearing aids.

The EastEnders actor made history as the first deaf contestant to win Strictly Come Dancing in 2021.

The Barbie doll has behind-the-ear hearing aids.

Rose, who has been deaf since birth, said: "It's so important for children to be able to see themselves represented in the toys they play with."
