Jazz is a Northern actress and multi-talented performer who began her career in television at just eight years old. With a background in both drama and action-driven roles, she has grown into a dynamic presence on stage and screen.

Get to know Jazmine

She first appeared in a range of acclaimed British television dramas as a child, including standout roles as Kirsty in the BBC miniseries Johnny and the Bomb, Jane Morris in ITV's The Second Coming, as well as memorable appearances in Shameless (Channel 4) and The Street (BBC One).

However, it was her portrayal of 
Esther Bloom on Hollyoaks that cemented her place in the spotlight. From 2011 to 2018, Jazmine played the character in a series of powerful, emotionally driven storylines – including a widely discussed bullying arc that drew national attention for its authenticity and impact.


Following her success on screen, she returned to the stage in 2022 to star as Adele in the critically acclaimed national tour of Shakers: Under New Management, showcasing her continued passion for live performance and character work.


Away from acting, Jazmine is a fully qualified personal trainer and an international-level powerlifter. In 2019, she earned 4th place in the bench press category at the European Bench Press Championships in Germany, proving that her strength and dedication extend far beyond the acting world.


She is also deeply committed to giving back to society and is a patron and volunteer for Manchester-based homeless charity Barnabus, where she actively supports community outreach and empowerment initiatives.



Balancing a career in the arts with athletic excellence and charitable work, Jazz is a powerful example of versatility, compassion, and drive – both on and off the screen.
