Biography

Is probably best known for starring in the long running (1979-1988) British TV commercial for Shake n' Vac.

The Shake 'n' Vac advert was just one of hundreds I did that year. I remember I was starring in Chicago at the Cambridge Theatre when I went for the audition. It was just like any other audition, I read something but I didn't do any dancing or singing. I must have been what they were looking for because I got the job. I didn't think it was going to be anything special. It was just another advert.... It's ironic really. I like to think I have achieved quite a lot as an actress but I'm still most famous for vacuuming and singing. I don't really mind. It's nice to be remembered.
