Bullmore was born in Chelsea, London. She studied drama at Manchester University.
Bullmore was a finalist for the Dennis Potter Award in 2000 for her 90-minute drama entitled The Middle. Her first stage play, Mammals, was the winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and was shortlisted for the What's On Best New Comedy Award. From 1990 until 1995, she played Steph Barnes in Coronation Street. She appeared as Sonja, the Ukrainian girlfriend of the title character in the second series of the comedy series I'm Alan Partridge. She also appeared on BBC Radio 4's phone-in spoof Down the Line.
In 2011 and 2012, Bullmore appeared in a series of Direct Line Insurance adverts playing an eccentric customer. She co-starred in the crime drama Scott & Bailey from 2011 to 2014.

In 2013, Bullmore wrote a second play, Di and Viv and Rose, which was staged at Hampstead Theatre. The play was eventually transferred to the West End in early 2015, where it ran at the Vaudeville Theatre before closing in March.
