Early television success

One of Charlotte’s best known early television appearances came in Shane Meadows’ acclaimed Channel 4 drama This Is England ’88.

She played Fay Dean in the three part series, becoming part of one of Britain’s most celebrated television drama franchises. The role helped introduce Charlotte to a wider television audience and remains one of her most recognisable screen performances.

For many Coronation Street viewers discovering her for the first time, it is likely to be one of the productions they recognise her from.

Since then, Charlotte has continued to build an impressive body of work across British television.

She has appeared in ITV drama The Long Shadow, BBC comedies Still Open All Hours and The Other One, demonstrating her ability to move comfortably between serious drama and lighter comedy roles.

Away from television, Charlotte has also featured in films including The Pebble and the Boy and Vance, alongside a number of independent productions and short films that have allowed her to explore a wide range of characters throughout her career.

Her theatre background has helped shape the natural, character focused performances that now transfer to the screen.

More than just acting

Alongside her work in television, film and theatre, Charlotte has also undertaken commercial campaigns, voice work, music videos and animation projects.

Those varied experiences reflect the breadth of her career and demonstrate her willingness to work across different areas of the entertainment industry while continuing to develop as a performer.
