27 year old Irish actress Jessie Buckley first found fame finishing second in the BBC's I'd Do Anything, to become the next Nancy in the West End production of Oliver! Despite not taking the crown, Buckley has gone from strength to strength, graduating from RADA in 2013 and playing key roles in two Shakespearean productions in 2015 alongside the likes of Sir Kenneth Branagh and Roger Allam at prestigious London theatres.

In 2016, she starred in the acclaimed BBC drama War and Peace beside Cinderella star Lily James and will be seen next on the small screen in Tom Hardy’s mini-series Taboo before taking the lead in BAFTA-nominated director Michael Pearce’s debut feature, Beast.
