Strictly star when she became the first hearing-impaired person in history to participate in the show, taking home the Glitterball trophy in 2021.

However, new claims have suggested there is "no future" for the pair romantically, and heartbroken Sam is said to be taking comfort from his friendship with CBeebies host Aimee Campbell-Nottage - someone who is also close to Rose - in the aftermath of the reported split.Although Rose is yet to comment, reports published in The Sun suggest that the EastEnders actress has called it quits.A source claiming to be close to the star has been quoted as saying: "Rose and Sam's relationship is definitely over."It's very amicable and they'll remain close friends, but unfortunately there is no future for them romantically."The source added that Rose's absence during the Strictly tour had an "impact" on the relationship."It's been difficult for them both, of course, but they're certain it's the right move — and Sam's had a shoulder to cry on in their mutual friend Aimee," they claimed.Rose had previously kept a large part of her relationship shrouded in secrecy, telling the world little more than the fact that Sam was supportive of her Strictly win.However, she holidayed solo earlier this year when she took an idyllic break to Barcelona, amid reported suggestions from friends that her tough work schedule was causing issues romantically.Another source told The Sun: "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.
