She is best known for her role as Susan, the beleaguered, yet usually smiling motel manager/receptionist in I'm Alan Partridge. Eagle eyed viewers will remember this was not her first encounter with Alan Partridge, as she appeared as Miss Norwich in Knowing Me Knowing You. She has also appeared in Boon, as well as British television standards The Bill, Doctors and Midsomer Murders.

Besides this, she has also notched up a number of comedy roles in Brass Eye etc, and her role as Betty in A Dance to the Music of Time was critically acclaimed.
