Rosie said: “I live in Nottingham with my mum and it will always have my heart. I knew I had work – something I loved and was passionate about and I got to work every day. A very common question people ask is what is Claire King like? She said Emmerdale was there to offer her support and stability at the time, reported The Mirror. she has a lot. If you don’t then fine, but Vicky was used as an example of someone successful in the business. Rosie, now 20, said: “I was doing the whole playing grief and then the next minute I’m actually grieving. Since then, Rosie has gone from strength to strength as mischievous Gabby, who this week took a shot at a suspected stalker. She’s thriving, so I’d love to go down that route.
