The 26-year-old beauty has reportedly rejected the chance to star in the ITV programme's Christmas special because she feels anxious about seeing her old flame Adam Collard, who dumped her in favour of fellow contestant Zara McDermott.
A friend told The Sun Online: "Rosie has refused to go on the show.
"ITV begged her to go back and offered her a lot of money because they want to see the reaction between her, Adam and Zara.
"But she doesn't want to be put in that situation again.
"Rosie tends to downplay it a lot, but what happened on 'Love Island' had such a negative effect on her anxiety.
"She wasn't herself during the show, so when her friends heard there was a Christmas special they were praying she wouldn't go anywhere near him out of fear for her mental health.
"Her decision not to do it is down to the anxiety she had during her time in the villa and she doesn't want to go back to that."
Rosie is also veering away from the show because she has moved on from her summer fling with Adam and is now loved-up with 31-year-old businessman Wayne Davies - who she is soon going to be moving in with.
A representative for Rosie explained: "She's really happy in her new relationship, so it wouldn't make sense for her to go on 'Love Island'."
The friend added: "She's really, really happy with her new man and she's actually moving in with him."
Host Caroline Flack recently gave fans a sneak peak behind the scenes of the Christmas special - which will air in December - and shared scenes of her hanging out beside a luxurious swimming pool.
