BIO Ashley Jensen as Christina
Jensen stars alongside Ricky Gervais in the BBC Two/HBO television programme Extras. For her work on the first series, she received best television comedy actress and newcomer awards at the 2005 British Comedy Awards.
In January 2006 she starred in the short-lived drama series Eleventh Hour, alongside Patrick Stewart. Stewart had also appeared in an episode of Extras, in which he attempted to get Jensen’s character Maggie to appear in his new pet project. Later that year she played Steve Coogan’s agent in Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story.
Jensen has also appeared as Fiona Morris in the BBC1 soap opera EastEnders.
Jensen is engaged to actor Terry Beesley, 48, whom she has been with for six years. Ashley and Terry (who has appeared in Casualty) met in 1999 when they were both on stage in King Lear. The couple recently moved - with their dog, Barney - into a plush flat in Holland Park, West London.
