Tina Ellen Hobley (born 20 May 1971 in Hampstead[1]) is an English actress, best known for her long-running role as Chrissie Williams in the BBC One medical drama series Holby City.

Early life

Very shy as a child, Hobley was sent to speech and drama classes in an attempt to counter her introversion. She grew up in the London suburb of Mill Hill and attended Bishop Douglass Secondary School in East Finchley. Hobley enrolled with a very strict speech and drama teacher, whom she adored and stayed with for fifteen years, before transferring to the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art.[2]

Career

Television

After graduating from the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, where she trained from 1990 to 1993, Hobley had a number of roles in a variety of television dramas, including Coronation Street as Samantha Failsworth, Harbour Lights as WPC Melanie Rush and The Bill as Sue Booker.

Hobley is best known for her role as feisty ward sister Chrissie Williams in BBC medical drama Holby City.[3]

In 2014, Hobley took part in BBC One's Celebrity MasterChef.

Radio

On 3 October 2013, Smooth Radio announced that Hobley would become a presenter on the network, fronting a programme on Sunday mornings.[4]

Theatre

From January to July 2015 Hobley co-starred with Jamie Lomas, Rik Makarem, Michael McKell and Gray O'Brien in a touring production of Peter James's "Dead Simple".

Personal life

Hobley's first marriage was to graphic designer Steve Wallington in 1998. Their daughter Isabella 'Bella' was born in April 1999; the couple later divorced in 2001.

On 22 April 2006, Hobley announced her engagement to partner Oliver Wheeler, with the couple marrying later that year.[5] Hobley gave birth to daughter Olivia on 18 April 2008,[6] and on 1 March 2010 to son Orson.
