ITV Emmerdale star Rosie Bentham shares love for 'best friend' co-star in sweet tribute

Rosie Bentham has shared a heartfelt tribute to one of her co-stars as she celebrates her birthday. The Gabby Thomas actress paid tribute to fellow Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell as she turned 19.

As fans of the long-running ITV soap will know, Rosie originally joined the fictional Yorkshire village as Gabby back in 2016. Off-screen, the 20-year-old is close friends with co-star Daisy, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Daisy, who is best known for playing Amelia Spencer in the hit soap opera, is currently involved in a major storyline in Emmerdale, with the teen discovering she is pregnant earlier this week. Daisy might have just turned 19, however the character she plays is just 15 years old, adding a more complex layer to the drama.

Rosie took to Instagram to gush over her co-star on her special day. Sharing a sweet snap of the two together, she wrote: "Happy 19th birthday best friend. Love you the most."

It comes just days after Daisy appeared on Lorraine to discuss her character's latest storyline, with stand-in host Ranvir Singh praising the young actress for her maturity.

Daisy talked about how "proud" she felt after the plot led to her getting involved with Britain Get Talking, ITV's mental health campaign. 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. 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."

Emmerdale airs every day at 7.30pm on ITV and ITV Hub
