I can't wait to see Rawsie on Lorraine :lol:
Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan reportedly fled the set in tears while filming upcoming scenes.
The actress, who plays *Rosie Webster in the ITV1 soap, was filming scenes in which her character poses half-naked for a modelling job in front of an agency boss.
However, Flanagan became shy after being in a state of undress in front of so many crew members and ran away from the set saying she couldn't continue.
"Helen was in pretty skimpy clothing and pretending to audition to a modelling agency boss," a source told The Sunday Mirror. "The scene was filmed from behind to give the impression she might be topless.
"There were quite a few people on set and it all got a bit much for her. Something upset Helen and she ran out in tears shouting that she couldn't do the scene.
"She has been working really hard recently and may have been on edge because of all the filming."
Filming stopped for around 20 minutes until producers eventually calmed her down and she returned to complete the scene.
Rosie has been missing for some time. I for one have not missed her.
As for the story line coming up for her. It's just for young lads to look in to see her in her underwear .I can understand why she is upset. She probably feels exploited.
This is bad TV for pre 9 O'clock viewing. Do they not know it's still a family show.
Coronation Street's wannabe model Rosie Webster has today launched her own website to tie in with her forthcoming online spinoff series.
JustRosie.co.uk is the outspoken character's latest attempt to promote her modelling career. It also features advice on make-up, men, fashion and life in general.

n real life, meanwhile, Coronation Street bosses have created the site to promote Rosie's exclusive series of web episodes, which will premiere on the Just Rosie site later this month.
As the first official website dedicated solely to the antics of a Coronation Street character, Just Rosie will also contain webcam tips, extra photos and humourous blogs from the long-standing Weatherfield resident.
Unfortunately for Rosie (Helen Flanagan), things don't go quite to plan when she launches her first online advice session - 'How to make the most of your assets'. Placing the camera in the wrong position, the ditzy brunette doesn't realise that she is sending out a different message altogether.

In another tie-in for Rosie's forthcoming series, she also now has her own Facebook page featuring regular status updates.
Coronation Street chiefs have launched a number of other online initiatives in the past year, including tram crash bulletins for the 50th anniversary week, Gary's Army Diaries and Ken and Deirdre's Bedtime Stories.
The exclusive Rosie webisodes will premiere online on September 26.
Looks like good fun.

Along with the launch of Rosie Webster's Just Rosie website today, here's an interview with Helen Flanagan about the new mini-web series.
Tell us about Just Rosie
Just Rosie is three mini episodes that have been filmed for ITV.com following Rosie’s bid for fame and fortune in London. It’s sort of Britain’s Next Top Model meets Corrie. We filmed here at Corrie and on location in London. We see Rosie in all sorts of hilarious situations – including having a scrap with another model live on Lorraine!
How did you feel that they wrote this especially for you?
I was so flattered that they wanted to do something for my character. We hear so much on screen about Rosie going off on modelling jobs but we can’t show it happening so it is fantastic that the viewers get to see a bit more of Rosie’s life away from the Street.
What was it like to film?
It was great fun and completely different to filming Coronation Street – there are all sorts of dream sequences and we see Rosie going for auditions and of course all loved up with Jason. It was hard work as I am in every scene – but it is really funny and I hope people like it.
How does Rosie become an internet sensation?
Well as you know Rosie has always wanted to be famous and she finds out that her agent Alfie has to find a model for a job on Lorraine on ITV1. She overhears him talking to her biggest rival Stacey about giving her the job but then she films them kissing in his office and blackmails him to give her the job – or she’ll tell his girlfriend! He has no choice and Stacey is given the job of hand modelling jewellery instead. But when they get to London Stacey stitches her up and gets to Lorraine before her. When Rosie arrives the item has already started and Rosie gets past security and attacks Stacey on set on live TV! Alfie sacks her from the agency but then the fight is a hit across the internet and her career suddenly takes off!
How does she end up as a guest on Loose Women and Capital Radio?
She is booked onto Loose Women for an item about whether women should be ambitious to get what they want and then she goes on Capital Raddio as she gets a big nationwide campaign as the 5-a-day veg girl. Not exactly Cover Girl but it’s a start!
Is this what Rosie has always wanted?
Rosie wants to be a famous supermodel and she really does think that this is the start of big things for her – and who knows it could be. But this is Rosie after all and she never gets it quite right does she!
Tell us about Just.Rosie.co.uk
After she becomes an internet sensation Rosie decides to set up her own website giving advice on make-up, life coaching, boyfriends, how to be famous. She films it all in her front room and the website has actually been set up to run alongside the web episodes. She also has a blog on the website and now there is also an official Rosie Webster Facebook page with photos and updates.
You had 3 months off before coming back to film Just Rosie – why was that and what did you get up to?
I decided to take a break because I have been playing Rosie since I was 9 years old so I have actually been playing Rosie longer than I haven’t and she is a massive part of my life. I just wanted to spend some time off from filming and I went on a nice holiday, moved home, changed my hair, saw more of my boyfriend Scott and generally took time out being myself for a while.
Tell us about the hair change
I have always wanted to have short blonde hair but I could never change it so dramatically whilst I was working – the first day after I had finished filming I had it all cut off and dyed blonde and I loved it. When I was due to come back the producer said he was happy for it to stay short but felt that it had to go back brunette for Rosie which is fine. I love experimenting with my hair so I was fine about changing it back. I’d love to grow it again now and maybe have some hair extensions whilst it is growing – and one day I’d love to go Rhianna red!!
You have played Rosie Webster for more than half your life – are you anything like her?
I hope not! Don’t get me wrong I love her to bits but she is pretty ruthless and can be bitchy or nasty at times, I am not like that at all. The only similarities are that we both love nice girly things and love shopping. I love my fashion and so does Rosie but personality wise I’d like to think I am a nicer person than Rosie. Rosie loves her little sister to bits and was very supportive over her coming out as a lesbian and I love my little sister so I suppose we are alike in that way.
What is happening to Rosie back in Weatherfield?
The whole experience in London links into the main show with Rosie talking about being on Lorraine but there is also some dramatic stuff coming up in October when John Stape returns and one of the people he seeks out is Rosie!
What has been your favourite Rosie storyline so far?
I love playing all the fun stuff but I really did enjoy the story where John Stape locked her in the attic. It was different to see Rosie stripped bare without any make-up and vulnerable. So I am really looking forward to the next John Stape stuff which I am about to film.
Helen Flanagan has revealed that she feels "sexier" when she has dark hair.
The Coronation Street actress dyed her hair blonde while taking a three-month break from the soap, where she plays model Rosie Webster.
"As soon as I started my time off, I got someone to cut my hair and had it dyed blonde," she told Now magazine.
"I just thought, 'Ooh, I'll just go for it!'. I think I felt a bit more girly when I was blonde, and then when I went back to dark, I kind of felt a bit sexier.
"I'm not sure why. I just feel a little more womanly with dark hair."
Flanagan added that her holiday has helped improve her relationship with Swansea City footballer Scott Sinclair.
"I got to spend a lot of time with my boyfriend, which was great. Last year, it was quite difficult with my work schedule and Scott's. I didn't get to see him much because we were working crazy hours and I didn't have the time."
Helen Flanagan's character Rosie Webster launched her own website earlier this week to tie in with her forthcoming online spinoff series.
God help us.. She's starting to sound like a younger version of Kym Marsh
Oh don't say that Alan I like Rawsie. I don't want her to turn into a Kym MarshQuote:

Feisty Rosie, who takes on the capital with boyfriend Jason Grimshaw in tow, is such a hit that she appears as a guest on Loose Women and is interviewed by Johnny Vaughan on Capital Radio.
Here, Helen talks to The People about her solo turn, and reveals how it feels to have spent more time as Rosie than as herself!
