Please PLEASE help me identify this actress

[Carpetmoffman]

Someone I work with has a celebrity voice twin and it’s keeping me awake at night because I can’t quite place her.

Please someone put me out of my misery!!! Please!!

She’s a British actress, TV not film. Dark blonde. Late 40s? Early 50s? Raspy voice. Kind of protruding front teeth just ever so slightly. Plays no nonsense characters. Smoker??? Southern voice - London but I can’t place it.

Plz solve my mystery

Sarah Lancashire?

Nicola Walker?

Not Sarah Lancashire- think more southern (but thank you!)

I can also see her hair in a chignon

I think she’s in shows like “bad girls”

Not Nichola Walker! But I love her!

She’s older but what about Gillian Taylforth?

Are you thinking of Patsy in AbFab?

Hermione Norris?

Tamsin Outhwaite?

Claire King?

Morgana Banks? Australian but plays English characters like the ones you've described

Claire king?

Victoria Alcock?

Zoe Lucker?

Zoe Lucker aka Tanya Turner in Footballers Wives maybe

V distinctive voice

Claire King?

Roisin Conaty?

Alison Newman? She was in Footballers' Wives, as the agent.

Ruth Sheen? Just been watching her in Unforgotten.

I was thinking Stephanie Beecham, but she's older

Or Debra Stephenson

Shell in Bad Girls

Geraldine James?

@Artesia

Alison Newman? She was in Footballers' Wives, as the agent.

That was my suggestion too. I would have offered up Linda Henry had you not mentioned the chignon.

Linda Henry

Kika Mirylees? Julia Davies?

Thanks for the reminder about Alison Newman, btw, one of my all time best weird crushes
