She won the Miss Northern Ireland title in 1998, and came runner-up in the Miss United Kingdom pageant. She became a teacher and an occasional television reporter/presenter. Starting out her teaching career at Harrow School, she then joined Merchant Taylors' School, Northwood, before returning to Harrow for a second period in 2010.[citation needed]
She once co-hosted The Big Breakfast, worked for Comic Relief does Fame Academy, Disney and as a researcher for the BBC's Hard Sell. Appearances in television advertisements include the Peugeot 106. In October 2011, she co-hosted the BBC series Out of the Blue.[2]

Salley plays polo. She has raised funds for charity by running the New York Marathon, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro[3] and visited the site of the world's highest active volcano in Ecuador where she helped build a school for an isolated community.[4]
In 2011, photos taken by professional photographer and part-time teaching colleague Fiona Corthine, of Salley posing topless were found on a memory stick, which had been forgotten in a school photographic studio, by a Harrow pupil. They were distributed around the school and were also sent to boys at Merchant Taylors' School, Northwood, Hertfordshire, where Salley had taught previously.[5]
