Strictly Queen and EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis' relationship is reportedly in trouble following her Strictly Come Dancing win.
Rose won the show in December last year, partnering up with professional Giovanni Pernice, 33, and her career instantly skyrocketed.
The deaf star, 28, was praised for raising awareness for her community over and over during her time on the show.
But Rose's relationship with her long-term boyfriend Sam Arnold, is apparently struggling under the strain of her new-found success, according to the Mirror.

The much-loved actress famously keeps her romance with Sam under wraps, but rumours have started to spread that the pair have 'grown apart'.
Rose and Sam had celebrated seven blissful years together before she embarked on the BBC competition, and now sources have claimed that Rose's rise in fame has put a strain on their relationship.
Speaking to The Sun, an insider claimed that Rose and Sam have been concentrating on themselves in recent times.
“Rose and Sam drifted apart, especially after she became so busy with work projects and was in-demand with new work opportunities.
“They still have a lot of love and respect for each other, but they’re also still young and working out their lives.
"Rose went to Barcelona on her own to gather her thoughts and think about what she wanted. They have both grown as people since they first starting dating. This is Rose’s moment and she is grabbing life by the horns, focusing on her career and taking any opportunity that she can.”
The Mirror has reached out to Rose's representatives for comment on this story.
