What was it like becoming Rosie again?
Becoming Rosie again was so lovely. I have played her from a very young age and being able to play her again was fun, emotional but overall, the most incredible experience and I’m so grateful I got to do this again.

What was it like working with the cast again?

It was great being with the cast again as we all get along so well and have so much fun together, it’s like being with family. They are so easy to work with, so it was a pleasure to be able to see them all again and play our characters together.

What reaction have you had to the series?

The reaction to the series has been so positive, a lot of families have reached out to me and said this is very similar to their family life, and that they haven’t seen anything like this before on TV, and that makes me very proud to part of the show.

Do you have a favourite scene you enjoyed filming?

There’s a scene where I kick tomato soup over Jessica and David which was great fun to film, the soup landed everywhere it wasn’t meant to. There were a lot of laughs in between takes.

What research did you do to prepare for the role?

I’ve meet Joey, who Rosie is based on, lots of times. Shaun sends me lots of videos of her and he gives me lots of advice on how Joey would be in each scene, we work on it together. Sarah (Joey’s mum) also helps give me direction along the way.

What do you think viewers will take away from the special?

I hope viewers enjoy seeing the next chapter in Rosie’s life and take away the love, laughter and tears we all share in the Yates family.
