Jessica's career started at the age of eight when she starred in an
epic Persil commercial filmed in "Indiana Jones" style, in Spain. She
then went on to feature in West End roles in the Sound of Music, Les
Miserables, and Oliver!
Jessica then went on to voice the Ghost Of Christmas Past in the
Die Muppets Weihnachtsgeschichte (1992).
Very shortly afterwards, her career in television really took off with
featured roles in Angel of Nitshill Road;
May and June: Part One (1997);
Trial & Retribution IV - Part One (2000)
and The Bill (1984) and the leading
role of Anthea in
Phönix, der Zaubervogel (1997).
She then established herself as the 'naughty but nice' Enid Nightshade
in three series of the much loved
Eine lausige Hexe (1998) and
the slightly naughtier Enid in the spin off
Eine lausige Hexe in Cambridge (2001).
Co-starring with Sarah Lancashire,
Jessica showed that she had the undoubted talent to handle the more
demanding and dramatic role of Rusty Dickinson in
Back Home (2001) for which
she received favorable reviews from the critics, and held her own in
the company of such acclaimed actresses such as
Rosemary Leach and
Stephanie Cole.
Since then, as well as guest leads in TV programs such as
Powers (2004) and frequent Theatre
work, Jessica has moved into British soap operas, firstly playing Belle
Wise in Crossroads (2001)
appearing on our TVs five nights a week, and, as of January 2008,
Jessica is playing the role of Nancy Hayton in the popular soap
Hollyoaks (1995) .
Jessica made her first Hollyoaks appearance on 6th July 2005.
