Ellie Wigginton

My passion for drama grew under the guidance of Miss Chumun and Miss Backhouse, who ignited my love for being on stage and performing. During my time at The Holgate Academy, I became a drama prefect, always eager to inspire others to share my enthusiasm for drama.

After finishing at The Holgate Academy, I continued my acting journey outside the classroom and even featured in a short film about COVID-19. Since then, I have auditioned for various roles, including opportunities with the BBC, but I haven’t had much luck yet. However, that doesn’t mean I’ll give up.
