Monica Rose (11 February 1948 - 2 February 1994) was a British TV quiz show hostess on Double Your Money and The Sky's the Limit both hosted by Hughie Green. Originally a contestant on Double Your Money, she was invited to become a hostess on the show by Green, impressed by her cockney charm and manner, and stayed for three years. She later worked on The Sky's the Limit.[1]

She left show business in 1977 and was later admitted to hospital three years later suffering from a nervous breakdown. She married Baptist lay preacher Terry Dunnell in 1982 and settled in Leicester where she worked as a checkout operator in a supermarket.[1] After battling depression, Rose committed suicide by overdosing on antidepressants and tranquillisers in 1994.[2][3]
