Get to know Katie...

NTA award-winning actress Katie has been captivating audiences since she was just 16-years old, landing her first lead role in the hit BBC drama Waterloo Road as the fiery, rebellious Jodie 'Scout' Allen filmed in her hometown of Rochdale. After three incredible series, she was then cast as the bubbly Sinead Tinker in ITV’s flagship soap Coronation Street.

It was in this role that Katie truly made her mark, receiving a National Television Award for Best Serial Drama Performance and even gaining a BAFTA TV nomination for ‘Must See Moment’ for Sinead’s death. Over her seven years on the cobbles, Katie brought a dynamic blend of humour and heart-wrenching emotion to her character, proving her incredible versatility as a performer.

More recently, she has taken on some bold and complex roles. She played the troublemaking Georgina in the late Kay Mellor’s final instalment of The Syndicate (BBC), starred in a gripping, nine-month storyline as conspiracy theorist Becky Quentin on Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks – embarked on her professional stage play debut as lead Cleo in acclaimed thriller author Peter James’ Wish You Were Dead tour and played troubled Essex housewife Lisa in the Murder At Midnight 2025/2026 national tour.

Beyond acting, Katie has made numerous TV appearances including becoming a Semi-Finalist on Celebrity MasterChef 2025 (BBC), competing in the 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing (BBC), starring in a Sport Relief special of The Greatest Dancer (ITV), and mastering the art of comedy on the Stand Up 2 Cancer charity special, Stand Up and Deliver (Channel 4).

Her presenting experience includes fronted a powerful self-shot smear test segment for ITV’s Lorraine, encouraging women across the UK to prioritise their cervical health – and joined BBC Morning Live fronting various features across the show.
