Best known for her role as Jenny Gifford in the brilliant Cold Feet, Fay became a household name playing the long-suffering wife of John Gifford (John Thompson).

Since then the Wimbledon-born celeb, who appeared in the tongue-in-cheek horror film Mute Witness and the well-received romance Rosanna's Grave, has added to her CV with a series of high-profile appearances in TV dramas, from Dead Gorgeous to The Stretford Wives.

You can catch her in the new BBC adaptation of the The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin in April, starring Martin Clunes.
