Rosie has broken her silence on her TV career, saying she is more than happy with what she’s doing now
Rosie Jones has snubbed big-money offers to do reality TV shows, such as Love Island and Celebrity Big Brother. The comic revealed that she is too busy doing stand-up gigs, presenting and acting to sign up for them.
The comedian, who lives with cerebral palsy, said that she is inundated with calls to go on the major hit shows: “Every year I get the call up to do reality shows. I think I’ve been asked to all the big ones now.
“But for the moment, that’s not the right thing for me. First and foremost, I’m too busy. I barely have time to sleep.

“And secondly, while I love watching them, I don’t think they’re right for me.” Rosie admits she could be convinced to give one a go if the offer is right.
There are a few shows she’d clear her diary for. She said: “One show I would do is Race Across The World.
“I would love to do that show. And I’d do The Celebrity Traitors, of course.

“They’re the two shows I would do. So with reality TV shows, it’s a case of ‘never say never.
“One day you might see me in a hat in the jungle or with the Glitterball under my arm.” Rosie will be back on the box on a new series of her panel show Out Of Order; it kicks off tomorrow (January 5) at 9pm on Comedy Central UK.
It comes after Rosie was subjected to a cruel attack at the hands of homophobes, which she added that she thought was “ableist”. She revealed that while travelling on a train with good pal Lee Peart when she was mocked by passengers.

Taking to social media in October last year, Lee said: “Here I am with one of my favourite people and look…” before panning to the mess. He then states: “You know what that was from? Being attacked by ableist and homophobic a********.”
Rosie added her own account of what unfolded: “Three people mocked both of our voices, threw wine at us. What a f****** waste!”
