Biography
Hollyoaks star Hannah grew up in Essex with her Eastenders star sister Kara and began acting at a young age. Her first appearance on the box was in the hit CBBC sitcom Kerching! Which ran for three series from 2003.
From there, Hannah did the TV rounds with bit parts in shows like The Bill, New Tricks and Sky’s hit WAG drama Dream Team. She has a recurring role there before landing a role in the far more popular Hollyoaks as Warren’s little sister Katy Fox. Until she was driven off a cliff a year later that is.
Becoming one of most fancied new soap stars, Hannah made it to number 85 on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women 2011. Deciding to quite Hollyoaks after a year because she didn’t want to be pigeonholed (hence that cliff dive), she’s since starred in Brit horror flick The Children and landed the role of Simon’s particularly nauseous emo girlfriend Tara in series 3 of The Inbetweeners.
After dating Dougie Poynter from McFly, she’s currently seeing her onscreen Inbetweeners boyfriend Joe Thomas. Yep. The one whose mouth she nearly puked into in that hilarious scene.
