I know MN is fab at this sort of detective work, so here goes...

She's maybe 40's, slightly husky voice, sharp dark bob with fringe. I can picture her smartly dressed and saying something like "for f*/k sake (insert man's name)". more likely TV than film I think.

Reason being I attended a new yoga class and thought I knew the teacher, but I think she just looks & sounds exactly like this actress, but now I want to know who she is! Grin

It's not going to be Leah Bracknell - she died a few years ago.

Another vote for Melanie Sykes

mogschristmascalamity · 10/01/2022 15:05

Frances barber is my guess.

Mo1911 · 10/01/2022 15:07

Can't you Google the yoga class or 'phone wherever it's held to find out who takes the class? If it's someone we know then bingo, if it's not we can keep trying 😆

@ScrambledSmegs

Raquel Cassidy? Did a lot of 'FFS's in Teachers.

Or maybe Gina Bellman. Tall, dark haired, may have said FFS in something.

I mean, it's really not much to go on!

I know my "clues" or poor ...it will be a miracle if we figure it out Blush

it's just one of those annoying edge of your brain niggles

The actress wasn’t teaching the class, just someone that looked like her

Magenta Devine.

Cherryblossoms85 · 10/01/2022 15:17

Keely Hawes? Has very variable hair colours.

HoardingSamphireSaurus · 10/01/2022 15:17

Vicky McClure, surely?

I'm sure she said it a few times, especially Line of Duty Series 1
