Life and career
[edit | edit source]Ellie Charlotte Dadd was born on 15 March 2005 in Bromley, Kent.[1][2] She has been training at the D&B Academy of Performing Arts since she was a child.[3][4][5] In 2013, at the age of eight, Dadd made her acting debut as Sophia in the short film Lipstick, about a brother and sister playing at their grandma's house until they realise she has died and have to deal with her death on their own.[6][7] In 2016, Dadd played Amanda Thripp in the West End production of Matilda the Musical.[8][9]
In January 2020, Dadd appeared in two episodes of the BBC crime drama Silent Witness as Cat Shaw, the daughter of Jenny and Robbie, the former of whom is found dead on the train tracks and is later found to be the victim of domestic violence at the hands of Cat's father.[10][11] In March 2022, Dadd appeared in the first episode of the seventh series of ITV detective drama Grantchester.[12]
In August 2022, Dadd joined the cast of the BBC soap opera EastEnders as Amy Mitchell.[13][14] She took over the role from Abbie Burke, who had played the part of Amy for eight years, with bosses deciding to recast the character to allow the writers to tackle more sensitive and mature storylines.[15][16][17] Early into Dadd's tenure, the character of Amy was placed at the centre of a self-harm storyline which results in her being hospitalised and subsequently attending therapy sessions.[18][19][20][21][22]
