A Guyanese-British actress (born 30th August 1980 in Islington, London) who has appeared in a number of British television shows, including [[BitCharacter small parts]] in ''Series/{{Casualty}}'', ''Series/TheBill'', ''Series/DoctorWho'' and ''{{Series/Hustle}}'', before landing her best-known role as Guinevere in the BBC's fantasy series ''{{Series/Merlin|2008}}'' - a revisionist take on the character in which she grows from [[RagsToRiches a lowly servant to the future Queen of Camelot]].

Loved by directors for her versatility, and loved by fans for her ability to go from dorky to [[TheHighQueen Regal]] to [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer everything inbetween]]. So...[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment they love her for the same thing really]].

She has also done voice-overs for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR-BnFqMHqs L'Oreal Paris advertisements]].

She has one son, born in 2018.

!!Tropes associated with her career:

* IAmNotSpock: Angel indirectly referenced this trope in an interview to publicize ''Series/DancingOnTheEdge'' in which she voiced her pleasure that the miniseries aired so soon after ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'' had finished. Having worked on the minseries in the hiatus between seasons four and five of the show, her appearance as a jazz singer so quickly on the heels of ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'' immediately dislodged the image people had of her as Guinevere.
* StarMakingRole: It was not five years as Guinevere on ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'' that got her the most attention, but her SmallRoleBigImpact role on ''Series/DancingOnTheEdge'' in which she was able to show off her singing talent and was used extensively in publicity.
* ThoseTwoActors: She has turned up in a startling number of works with Creator/AnthonyHead.
