Although she also admitted she felt some of her characters storylines were a little risque.
She said she was nothing like budding model Rosie in real life.
'I like that she's confident, whereas I'm reserved and shy.
'I can hide behind her. She's funny and sweet too. I didn't enjoy playing her when she went through a promiscuous phase. Luckily she shows more heart these days.
'But I'd give her some advice and tell her to calm down a bit. She is fiercely ambitious and worships power and money.'
