Rosie, 30, said Olivia Colman was her first choice to narrate her series Trip Hazard: My Great British Adventure.
However, Channel 4 executives originally told her they’d have no chance of scooping such an in-demand star.
But Rosie persisted, and insisted they fire off an email to her agent.
And to their utter surprise – she not only replied but agreed!
While chatting to Grazia, Rosie explained: “But she came back and she said ‘I love Rosie, I’m a big fan, I’ll do it.’
“Honestly, I’ve just taken a permanent residency on cloud nine because of that.
“And when you watch it, hearing her funny, beautiful and slightly judging voice of me, is just brilliant. For her to be a massive part of the show is just mind-blowing.”
Who is Jamali Maddix?
On the latest episode of Trip Hazard, comedian is joined by guest Jamali Maddix.
Here they explore the hidden wonders of Norwich.
Enjoying their staycation, they learn the eccentric ways of Molly dancing, try some local wine and give wrestling a go.
Jamali, 30, is a comedian and broadcaster from Essex.
He won the Chortle Student Comedian of the Year award in 2014 and is well-known for hosting thought-provoking documentaries with Vice.

He’s known for his long and well-groomed beard.
While speaking to the Evening Standard, he said sometimes people are intimidated by his impressive beard.
He claimed: “People are obsessed with my beard and thinking I’m a Muslim. I grew it when I was about 17 and I don’t trim it. It’s a weird thing, man, it’s like I know it’s a motif, but for me it’s just a beard, not a look.”
