In 2004, she was nominated and won a TV Quick and TV Choice Award for 'Best Actress' for her role of Tanya Turner; she was also nominated for a National Television Award in the category of 'Most Popular Actress' for her work on Footballers' Wives and made an appearance in sister show, ITV's Bad Girls as her Footballers' Wives character.
