The star's realistic transformation earned applause from fans

Sharing two pictures from her photoshoot with BAFTA Breakthrough, which showcases and supports the next generation of creative talent working in British film, games and television, Rose showcased a quote from her interview with them in the caption.

She wrote: "Breaking through in the industry as an actor is really hard, but when you have a disability it's even harder. I want to do more acting. I'm really passionate about that, but opportunity doesn't come to me very often. BAFTA Breakthrough is a programme for opportunity, so I'm hoping it will provide me with more."
