Frankie Lewis is the daughter of Katy Lewis and Mick Carter and the half-sister of Lee, Nancy, Johnny, Harry and Ollie.

After finding out that Mick was her father, Frankie accused him of repeatedly cheating on Linda, who he began a relationship with as a teenager.

During the weekend, she met deaf film director Ted Evans, who later cast her in his award-winning short film The End.
She then applied to Deafinitely Youth Theatre and has gone on to have roles in The Quiet Ones, Casualty, Reverbations and Summer of Rockets.
Rose also became the first ever deaf contestant to win the 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing with her partner Giovanni Pernice.
