Rose Ayling-Ellis has made history as the first deaf presenter to work live on the Paralympic Games.

The 29-year-old appeared alongside Clare Balding to present Channel 4’s coverage of the Paris Paralympic Games on Thursday evening (29 August).

As Balding informed viewers her co-presenter was making history, the former Strictly champion explained: “It’s a bit complicated, there’s a lot going on.”

“I am too deaf for an ear piece, so I have the lovely Kirsty over there, who is going to be my earpiece lady.”
