ITV Emmerdale's Rosie Bentham declares love for co-star as she celebrates special day

Emmerdale's Rosie Bentham has issued a heartfelt tribute to her co-star as she celebrates her birthday.

The actress has played Gabby Thomas in the fictional Yorkshire village since 2016. Away from the screen, the 20-year-old enjoys a close friendship with her co-star, Daisy Campbell.

Daisy is renowned for her role as Amelia Spencer in the ITV show and is currently involved in a high profile storyline after her character discovered she is pregnant. Amelia is 15 years old in Emmerdale, but the soap star is slightly older than her on-screen counterpart as she turned 19 today.

Daisy appeared on Lorraine this week to discuss her character's harrowing time in the show. She told host Ranvir Singh how "proud" she was after the plot has led to her getting involved with ITV's mental health campaign, Britain Get Talking. She said: "[Amelia] has got this whole vulnerable side coming out of her with this storyline and there's so much anxiety building up inside her.

"She's only 15 and she's got nobody to speak to so I think it really ties in well with the campaign." She added: "I wanted this storyline to do justice to young teen mums. They're so amazing and I've had loads of messages from them. I'm doing this for them."

Daisy spoke about her birthday on the show and Ranvir praised the actress for her maturity. She said: "You've got a wise head on young shoulders."
