She was a Page Three model for ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers The Sun]]'', a career which started by having her picture taken by amateur photographers in a pub owned by a friend. Her break-out role was as Ann-Marie in ''Film/HouseOfWhipcord''. That same year, she had a small role in ''Film/CarryOnDick''. After a clash with director Creator/GeraldThomas, Irving's agent asked if she could do another ''Film/CarryOn'' film, only for Thomas to reply "Don't mention her name to me again".

Penny Irving is a British actress and former PageThreeStunna best known for playing Miss Bakewell on ''Series/AreYouBeingServed''.

She was a page-three model for ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers The Sun]]'', a career which started off by having her picture taken by amateur photographers in a pub owned by a friend of hers. Her break-out role was as Ann-Marie in ''Film/HouseOfWhipcord'', which was followed that same year by a small role in ''Film/CarryOnDick''.

Irving is most well known for playing Young Mr. Grace's beautiful secretary between Series 4 and 7 of ''Are You Being Served?''. She played the same character with a different name in the [[Film/AreYouBeingServed 1977 film spin-off]]. After ''AYBS?'', director David Croft used her in a later sitcom of his, ''Series/HiDeHi''. Irving left ''Hi-de-Hi!'' after one series, [[CreatorBacklash claiming it wasn't funny]].

She hasn't been in showbusiness since the early '90s, but still makes time to talk about her career with fans.
