Giovanni Pernice was among those to support Rose Ayling-Ellise after she shared how she was heartbroken. The former Strictly Come Dancing pairing has continued to show each other love and support since they won the BBC One dance contest in 2021.
In her post, Rose was responding to news that a British toddler had her hearing restored after becoming the first person in a pioneering gene therapy trial to 'treat' deafness. The former EastEnders star, who has been deaf since birth, referenced the development by sharing a picture of herself as a little girl, alongside a long post about her feelings, saying: "It feel like the end.
"Imagine a world where everyone is 'normal'. What will become of our story, our culture, language, and identity? Will we be the last deaf generation and end up in a museum somewhere? Deaf people have existed throughout human history. Who decides that their lives are not worth being integrated into society? Who assumes that we want to be “fixed”? Where will they draw the line?
She went on: "There are many deaf people out there that are doing great things! Why should we tell them that they are broken when, in fact, they are winning? To add insult to injury, this was released during Deaf Awareness Week. The week should be about embracing and spreading awareness about our culture. Not something to overcome.
