Sarah Manners Career

Career

Manners began her career in 1997, appearing in one episode of the BBC soap opera EastEnders. In 2000, Manners received the role of Joanna Helm in the BBC soap opera Doctors. Of her role she said, "I got the best storylines in the world in Doctors, my nan died of a brain tumour then it came out I killed her. I went mad and was addicted to anti-depressants, forged signatures and tried to kill myself". She later went on to appear in K.C. Gregory in Sky One's Mile High and Bex Reynolds in the BBC medical drama Casualty. In 2004, it was announced that Manners was to participate in the second series of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. She was paired with dancer Brendan Cole and the pair finished in sixth place. She starred in a reconstruction for a documentary called True Crime Stories: Tracie Andrews – Blood on her hands. She played Tracie Andrews alongside James Daffern in 2002.

Manners appeared in ITV1's The Bill, as Kirsty Knight. After six months on-screen it was announced that the show was to be cancelled. Of this she said, "I’m heartbroken. Not just for myself, but for everyone on the show. It’s a real loss for the industry. Everyone is really upset about it". All the big wigs came down to break the news to us at a meeting. We knew straight away when we saw the look on their faces. But what can you do? C’est la vie! I’ve had a fabulous time and we’re trying to remain positive. We’ve enjoyed every last minute of filming and had a laugh. I'm proud to be part of the last cast of The Bill". Of her time on the show she said, "I loved all the action and the stunts on The Bill, and the subject matter – it’s a lot more serious than some of the TV I’ve done. In Casualty I had a rape storyline, but mainly I’ve been the light relief, so this has been a nice change".

Soap star Sarah Manners says BBC 'fully supported her' after her 'rough treatment' from pro Brendan Cole on Strictly in rare positive comment amid show crisis

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 24, 2024
Strictly star Sarah Manners says the BBC 'fully supported her' after receiving rough treatment from dance partner Brendan Cole during her time on the show.  The former Casualty actress's difficulties on the BBC1 dance series have reemerged in light of recent bullying scandals, which has resulted in Italian pro Graziano Di Prima being sacked and compatriot Giovanni Pernice leaving. Manners partnered New Zealander Cole in the 2004 series and he reduced her to tears by criticising her on live TV, as well as in newspaper interviews where he compared her unfavourably to former partner Natasha Kaplinsky.
