Biography:
Sarah was born in Leigh, Greater Manchester. She first
appeared on Channel 4's Hollyoaks in 1996, walking into the
video shop in the forty-third episode. Sarah joined the show at
the tender age of 14 as wannabe supermodel Mandy and quickly
established herself as a force to be reckoned with; She went on
to be the longest standing female character in the soap's history
picking up awards and nominations along the way including Best
Actress, Sexiest Actress, Best dramatic scene and eventually
Best exit.
After a decade of playing the role of Mandy, Sarah left Hollyoaks
in 2006. Sarah has since worked on The Innocence Project, Drop
Dead Gorgeous, Doctors, The Adam and Shelly show (all for the
BBC), and shot three films including Northern Cowboys (a wild
west comedy based in the North of England) and The Dark Knight
alongside Christian Bale as Batman. Sarah was asked back by
Lime Pictures for a six month stint on Hollyoaks last summer.
Sarah's stage debut came in the form of the hilarious comedy
Boeing-Boeing, where she played the sexy ball-breaking
American, Gloria, alongside Susie Blake. The production opened
in Sarah's home town of Liverpool (as the final piece for the
capital of Culture 2008) before departing on a nationwide tour to
critical acclaim. Sarah has also been touring with The Vagina
Monologues.
Sarah is an ambassador for The Prince’s Trust and Breakthrough
Breast Cancer.
