Rosie Bentham says there’s often an awkward reason why men approach her on a night out but she says she couldn’t be any more different from raunchy character Gabby Thomas
Rosie Bentham says she couldn’t be further from character Gabby Thomas in real life and says men often approach her for an embarrassing reason.
The actress â who has played saucy Gabby since 2016 â says she is nothing like the man eater and is always well behaved on a night out. But despite being a famous soap star, she says some men who do chat her up don’t watch Emmerdale themselves.
They do often approach her with requests for their mums, though, as Rosie chatted before the show defends its Best Serial Drama title at the National Television Awards on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old says she’s still loving her time on the ITV programme and hopes it is another night to remember.
“When people first meet me they think I’m this ‘ready to give everything to everyone’ kind of girl, but I’m like ‘No, you’ve got to try a lot harder than that with me, you can’t just walk through the door’,” she told The Sun. “‘If that was Gabby she’d be raring to go and be like ‘Come on then, let’s go upstairs’ which is obviously a lot of fun to play, but I’m nothing like that. It’s usually when we all go out and I’m with the other cast members that I’m more likely to get recognised.
