She trained with the National Youth Theatre of Wales and the Gwent Young People's Theatre before graduating with First Class Honours from the Guildford School of Acting.
She has built a long career as a leading lady on the London West End stage, playing Truly Scrumptious in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Sandy in Grease, Eponine in Les Miserables, and the original Jennifer in The Witches of Eastwick.

I have known Caroline since she was a school girl and a very good friend of my son Jay. Caroline whom I believe to be amongst the great talents of our time is indeed truly scrumptious. Both she and my son continue to be close friends and keep in touch on a regular basis.
