[4] In 2015, she began studying sociology at the University of Leicester, graduating with a 2:1 in sociology. Speaking of her time at university, Rose said that she "did not want to go there at all" and would have preferred to get a job, but said she knew that "if she didn't study at university, her family would never let it go". [6] Rose's mother died in 2016, while her father died a few years later in 2020. [7]

Career

Whilst studying at university, Rose set up a YouTube channel to which she began uploading videos in 2016. Focusing primarily on vlogs, she also uploaded hair tutorials and fashion hauls. Rose said of her decision to make YouTube her main career option that "[She'd] had opportunities to interview celebrities, present at shows and go places [she] never could have." [6] She also won the award for YouTuber of the Year at the PrettyLittleThing Influencer Awards. [8]

In August 2021, Rose launched the podcast Pressed on BBC Radio 1Xtra alongside Adeola Patronne and Mariam Musa.

[20] The same month, she won the award for Best Media Personality at the MOBO Awards 2022. [21]

In February 2023, Rose returned to host the red carpet live stream at the 2023 Brit Awards, this time with Michelle Visage.

[24]

In late 2023, Rose participated in the twenty-third series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!. She received mass social media attention throughout the series due to arguments with Fred Sirieix and Nigel Farage among other things.
