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 presented by Hughie Green.
Originally a contestant on Double Your Money, Rose 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.
Rose left show business in 1977 and was 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. After battling depression, Rose committed suicide by overdosing on antidepressants and tranquillisers in 1994.
