Actress Ella Balinska, the daughter of TV chef and model Lorraine Pascal, is about to be catapulted into the spotlight as she takes on the role of a Charlie’s Angel in a reboot of the franchise directed by Elizabeth Banks and co-starring Kristen Stewart and Naomi Scott.

The casting marks the British actress’s biggest role to date - having previously appeared in TV shows such as Midsomer Murders, Nyela's Dream and Casualty - and the anticipated action film is released in UK cinemas in June 2019. Ahead of production on the film this autumn, Balinska will also be shooting Sky’s timely YA drama The Athena, a series in which she plays a young model whose career implodes when she dares to complain about a famous designer treating her like an object.
