Eastenders

Tiana Benjamin

At just 21-years-old acress Tiana Benjamin was thrown into the limelight to play Chelsea Fox, daughter of Denise Fox (played by Diane Parish) in Eastenders. With some impressive  experience under her belt – including a part in the last Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire – Tiana jumped at the opportunity to be part  of one of the UK’s biggest shows.

I'm really enjoying myself. I love working with my on-screen family. I've been really welcomed by the entire cast as well. Everyone's been very supportive. We definitely have a bond. We all respect and understand each other, and manage to have a good time while we're filming too. I felt that we clicked from our first few scenes together.

When I heard I got the part I was just in shock really. It's one of those jobs that's unlike any other. There's a lot that changes when you take on something as big as Eastenders. I was really happy and genuinely excited to be a part of the show. I've had lots of positive feedback from the public which is nice. People generally want to check that it's you, and I know that I've done that myself. I love the character Chelsea but we're very different. She says and does things that I would never dare do. She speaks to her mum in a way that I would never. She crosses a line that I just wouldn't. There's a lot going on underneath the hard exterior that she tends to give off.” www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders
