Rosie Bentham took over the role of Gabby Thomas on Emmerdale in January 2016. Over the years, Gabby has seen a lot of drama, which has meant that Rosie has really been able to dig her teeth into the character and prove herself as a serious soap actor.
From struggling with her father, Ashley Thomas' illness and eventual death from dementia, to giving birth to her son, Thomas in 2021 at Home Farm Estate following a one night stand with Jamie Tate, Gabby has also found herself mixed up in plenty of trouble in the Yorkshire Dales. But in terms of Rosie's life off screen - which is way less dramatic - what do we actually know about the actor? Here, we look at the 22 year old's personal life, including her family and secret boyfriend who she says is "just a normal guy." Rosie's family life Rosie was born in Nottingham on the 29th of July 2001.
She has three siblings and is the youngest of them all. In previous interviews, she's stated that her mother, Marianne, is her hero.
Tragically, Rosie's family life was turned upside down in 2019 when - just one week before her 18th birthday - her father John suffered a pulmonary embolism and sadly passed away.
Rosie has been very vocal about the event over the past few years, detailing the loss as "easily the worst pain" she has ever experienced. However, she has also used her personal experiences for the greater good, and hopes that sharing her story can help others in her position who are also dealing with grief.
"I don’t mind if people ask me about memories of my dad because I’ve got so many lovely ones," she said. Who is Rosie's secret boyfriend? Back in September, Rosie revealed that she was actually off the market, and shared that she's in the early stages of dating someone.
