Jemma Walker is an English actress, known for portraying Siobhan Jones Callan in Family Affairs and Sasha Perkins in EastEnders.

Born in Essex, Walker was a dancer until the age of sixteen. She studied for a Drama BTEC at Barking College, and went on to train at the Arts Educational School in Chiswick.

Walker played barmaid Siobhan Jones Callan in Family Affairs for four years, before joining EastEnders as former escort Sasha Perkins. Discussing the two roles, she said:

"In Family Affairs, my character...was down and victimised, and trying to kill herself, so after four years of misery it was a lovely chance to play a lighter character. There were moments where it wasn't all hunky dory, but at the time there were lots of depressing and meaningful storylines going on, so it was nice to offer some light relief!"

On television, Walker has also appeared in episodes of The Bill, Doctors, Hotel Babylon and Jonathan Creek. Her film credits include EMR (2004) and Love's Kitchen (2010).

Jemma has recently been playing the character of Mollie, a guesthouse owner, in the first UK tour of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. (2012)
