22nd July 2011

 

1) How did you get into acting?
I started at the age of 7 starring in Annie with a local musical theatre group. From then onwards I mainly concentrated on my first love of dancing and went on to train at the London Studio Centre for three years where I picked up once again on the drama side. I managed to finish the three years with a National Diploma in performing arts and most importantly an Agent!! After several dancing contracts i decided it was time to push the acting and played a couple of small tv roles before Landing the part in Dream Team as Tash.

2) Are you married or single?
Been married for 8 years.

3) What football team do you support?
I don't actually support a specific team although there are teams that I like and want to do well, and teams that I most certainly do not like!!!

4) What do you like to do in your spare time?
Spare time is a thing of the past for me as I have two young children to run around after. Having said that I try to work out as much as I can as it's like an escape for me. And I love catching up with friends and having a giggle.

5) What type of music do you like, and what was the last album you bought?
I just love music in general to be honest, I grew up listening to anything from Barbara Streisand to Genesis to Guns and Roses. These days I love a lot of R&B artists along with the likes of Adele (last album I bought) and Paloma Faith.

6) Who have been the biggest influences in your life and career?
Mmmm let me think.. there are so many.. as a kid i suppose it was all the usual suspects, the female leads in the big movies that we all wanted to be such as Olivia Newton John, Jennifer Grey etc.. I adore all the old greats too, Doris day, Audrey Hepburn and co. Not forgetting our amazing British Ladies, Helen Mirren being my all time fav.

7) What was your best moment filming Dream Team?
I just can't tell you how many great memories I have of filming Dream Team there were so many. Probably one of the most memorable was in series 4 when Tash and Jamie attend a premiere in the west end and myself and Jim had to walk up and down the red carpet a number of times as if we really were superstars in front of hundreds of fans who wondered who the hell we were and what we were doing, it was very embarrassing but highly amusing and a night of filming that i will never forget.

8) Who were your best friends on the show?
We all got along amazingly well for the most part, cast and crew. Jim and Ray I worked closest with and we all had a great relationship, Georgia Zaris is still one of my best friends who I know will always be in my life.

9) What have you been in since Dream Team ended?
I played a character called Tanya Hyde in Hollyoaks after leaving Dream Team, but have taken a few years out to concentrate on being mum since then.

10) Do you have any new filming projects coming up?
I have recently made the decision to get back to work and have been taken on by a new agent McLean-Williams. I'm very much looking forward to getting back out there.
