What is Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything about?

Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything follows the story of a woman who is addicted to everything – smoking, alcohol, chocolate, Xanax, caffeine…

You name it, she’s addicted to it.

But, after an embarrassing incident at her brother’s wedding where she ends up in the hospital, she has an epiphany which makes her realise she has to give up everything.

Viewers see Rosie trying to face her addictions, as well as caring for her ill father and the possibility of losing her job.

Unsurprisingly, she is pushed to breaking point.

She struggles with the realisation that, if she really gives up everything, will she still be Rosie?

Sheridan Smith stars in Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything

Sheridan Smith plays the titular character in the Sky Comedy series Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything.

She shares this about Rosie: “Her character is one of the funniest characters I’ve ever played to be honest.

“Rosie is single, she’s got a great family, is very much a career girl, she’s just been promoted at work and she seems to have it all.

“But, at the same time, she does not have it all.

“She’s a very complex character because she is suffering the illness of addiction.

“She’s got a huge heart, though, but she has the illness and gets addicted to everything.”

The imperfect heroine reminds us of Fleabag – we can’t wait to watch!
