ON GETTING PART OF ROSIE : ‘I had been a guest giving birth on Holby and 3 months later they asked me to come back and play Rosie. I was very flattered.’
ON SIMILARITIES WITH ROSIE : ‘Me and Rosie are similar in that we are direct, loyal and caring. I’m beginning to sound like I have a split personality. I do think I am more decisive.’
