Education

Pursuing her love of dance, she left school in Dartford, Kent at 16 to attend the London Studio Centre in King's Cross.[1] After three years of trying to make it as a professional dancer, she decided to combine it with acting and applied to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art at the age of 24, graduating in 2004.[2]

Career

After her first West End role as Martin Jarvis and Diana Rigg's daughter in Honour (2006) at the Wyndham's Theatre, she was cast as Baby Houseman in the West End production of the musical Dirty Dancing (2006).[3] Her other stage work includes The Merchant of Venice (2008), As You Like It (2011) and Richard III (2017).[4][5][6]

Her television credits include the BBC One dramas Cuffs (2015) and River (2015), and the Black Mirror episode "Hated in the Nation" (2016). She has also played Charlie Spring's (Joe Locke) mother, Jane, in the Netflix coming-of-age series Heartstopper (2022–present) and Wallis Simpson in the Channel 5 drama-documentary, Wallis: The Queen That Never Was (2017).[7]
