Emmerdale's Rosie Bentham has become one of the soap's most renowned faces.
The 21-year-old actress has played Gabby Thomas in the fictional Yorkshire village since 2016. Gabby is currently involved in one of the soap's main storylines as she aims to impress Kim Tate to win a job at The Hope.
In this week's episodes, she submitted brochure designs to modernise the business. However, Kim delivered Gabby bad news as she revealed she doesn't think she's ready to run a business.

Rosie told Mirror Online she's enjoying the story and revealed she's confident she will one day be able to replace the fierce matriarch, played by Claire King. She said: "They’re dressing me up and giving me a sexy Kim secretary-type look.
“It’s fun… I rock up to work in joggers and hoodies and they put me in skirts and heels. I’m literally transformed. Claire’s are big boots to fill… but I reckon I could do it.”
Rosie's has played an important part in the show ever since Gabby first arrived in the fictional Yorkshire village. Soon after she started, she was embroiled in a devastating storyline which saw her on-screen father, vicar Ashley (John Middleton), die from vascular dementia.
Rosie endured real life heartache away from the screen as her dad, who was also a clergyman, died from a pulmonary embolism just two years after the storyline. The soap star admitted she "will never get over the weird resemblance between real-life and Emmerdale".
She added: "The connection is just so bizarre for me. I had two months off to let it all sink in but work was a saving grace in that it gave me something else to focus on.”
Rosie enjoys close relationships with her co-stars away from the screen. She is maintains a strong friendship with Daisy Campbell, who plays Amelia Spencer on the show.
She took to Instagram to swoon over the soap star as she celebrated her birthday last year. She said: "Happy 19th birthday best friend. Love you the most."
Rosie also lifted the lid on her personal life to Mirror Online as she revealed some of her dating red flags. She said: "The biggest red flag is when someone says to me, ‘So, tell me what’s going to happen next’. “It’s obvious at that point they’re not interested in me, they’re just trying to get spoilers out of me."
“It’s nice if someone says, ‘Oh, my gran watches it’ – but I don’t think many 21-year-old boys are genuinely interested in watching soaps.”
