In this episode of TellyCast, host Justin Crosby sits down with actress and writer Kellie Shirley, known for her roles in EastEnders and In the Long Run.

Kellie discusses her career journey, starting from her early days in Croydon to landing roles in major TV shows, and her work in theatre, radio, and film. She reflects on her first major break, auditioning for EastEnders, and memorable moments from working on the show. They also delve into her passion for writing, which led her to create her new audio drama Roar. Kellie explains how personal experiences, particularly the trauma she faced in her youth, inspired her to write Roar, which explores themes of abuse and revenge. She opens up about how writing and producing the show was a cathartic process and the impact she hopes it will have on audiences, particularly in raising awareness about child abuse. The episode also highlights her collaboration with The Children’s Society charity and discusses her aspirations to turn Roar into a TV project. Additionally, Kellie shares behind-the-scenes stories from her career, including her work on comedies like The Office, and offers insights into balancing her professional and personal life.
