Rosie Bentham losing her dad
Rosie was born to parents John and Marianne Bentham and both have always supported her acting career since her younger years as they were on hand to act as her chaperones whilst filming.
Rosie looks up to her mum and describes her as the strongest person she knows.
Sadly, her father John passed away from a pulmonary embolism (blood clot) in 2019 - one week before her 18th birthday.
Rosie has described her loss as "easily the worst pain" she has ever experienced.
She also talks openly about the death last year she told The Mirror that his death was a huge shock, saying: "I just couldn’t believe it because he hadn’t been ill beforehand.
“I got angry because I couldn’t understand why and how it had happened," said Rosie. "I can remember saying ‘No, no, no’.”
She hopes that by sharing her own experiences of grief, that it will help other people going through the same thing, saying: "I don’t mind if people ask me about memories of my dad because I’ve got so many lovely ones."
Rosie’s glam life outside of Emmerdale
Rosie Bentham often treats her fans to glimpses of her glamorous life off-screen.
And it’s safe to say that the 20-year-old looks a world away from her stroppy teenage character Gabby Thomas.
Her 42.7k Instagram followers get to see Rosie's fashionable choices as she shares pictures of herself on nights out looking glamorous in figure-hugging dresses.
The star also enjoys fine dinner and previously celebrated her 19th birthday at the lavish restaurant Tattu in Leeds as well as previously dining at The Ivy In Leeds.
Rosie's Line of Duty link
After finishing her GCSEs and A-Levels Rosie attended Nottingham's Television Workshop Drama Group, where Line of Duty's Vicki McClure and fellow Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter attended.
Rosie previously told The Sun how she was a fan of Line of Duty and would love to explore similar dramas in her career, but also would love to stay on Emmerdale for as long as possible.
She said: "To work in the industry like I am, it’s so hard to get into it and I know so many people who have tried to get to the same place. I feel really lucky."
