Ellie Wallwork (2018-2019)

Actor, singer and songwriter

Ellie was born blind due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. However, this hasn’t stopped her from following her dreams.

She is an accomplished actor in Film, TV and Radio, and has been a singer / songwriter for many years. Ellie is well known for her high profile roles and was Doctor Who's first blind actress. She played Hanne, who needed help from the Doctor and her friends in Norway.

In Call The Midwife she played a blind, new mum who needed a bit of extra support from the midwives. Remarkably, Ellie did all of this while maintaining her studies at RNC and, now currently, university.
