Rose Ayling-Ellis shot to fame on EastEnders, but she had to deal with a sad goodbye after co-star Maddy Hill decided it was time for her to depart from Walford.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Rose paid tribute to the actress as she shared a snap of them smiling together on set. "Love you @maddyhill90!!" she wrote. "Best on-screen sister ever, I'm already missing you load[s]," and she finished the post with two yellow heart emojis. The snap showed Rose in a gorgeous leather jacket, while Maddy stood behind her in a tartan coat.

She also posted one of her favourite scenes that she filmed with Maddy where their characters argued, before Rose was shoved into a car boot.
Maddy played Nancy Carter from 2014 to 2016 before returning last year, and her final storyline saw her leaving to go live with brother Johnny after feeling no longer able to trust mum Linda and ex-boyfriend Zack.

On Sunday, the star went to her old Strictly Come Dancing partner, Giovanni Pernice during his tour with Strictly legend, Anton du Beke.
