Olivia has had an illustrious career in the entertainment industry, boasting an impressive resume that spans over 100 productions since she first stepped onto the stage at the tender age of seven. As the youngest of four sisters, she grew up in the vibrant neighborhood of Hounslow, London, where she was surrounded by the sounds and rhythms of the city.
Her first major role came in 1991, when she played alongside the legendary Cilla Black in the production of Robin Prince of Sherwood. This early success marked the beginning of a long and storied career, during which she would go on to star in five stage productions, three films, and more than ten television hits, including the popular shows The Bill, Holby City, and Granada TV's smash hit, Girls in Love.
The CITV show, which was adapted from the novels of celebrated author Jacqueline Wilson, allowed Olivia to shine as the main character Ellie. Despite her newfound fame, she remains humble and is still getting used to the attention that comes with being a talented young actress.
Olivia's mother, who runs the Saturday Drama School, "All Expressions", in Teddington, initially tried to steer her away from a life in the spotlight, but Olivia's determination to perform was unwavering. She began training at her mum's school when she was just 11 years old, and it was there that she gained the confidence she needed to take her talents to the next level and break into the competitive world of acting.
