Faye played the villainous Tanya Helsby, who stirred up a load of violence in the prison. She also had a key part in the 2024 ITV drama series 'After the Flood'.
In 2020 she starred opposite David Tennant and Daniel Mays in the Emmy winning ‘Des’ about the Scottish serial killer Dennis Nilsen. The year before she played police officer Deborah Peach in the BAFTA nominated ITV drama ‘A Confession’, based on the true story of the disappearance of 22 year-old Sian O'Callaghan in Swindon in 2011, which also starred Martin Freeman, Imelda Staunton and Joe Absolom. And in 2017 she played Petra Jamieson in the BAFTA nominated ‘The Moorside’ about the search for missing schoolgirl Shannon Matthews, which also starred Sheridan Smith and Gemma Whelan.
Prior to this she starred in the BAFTA and RTS winning drama ‘Little Boy Blue’ about the 2007 murder of 11-year old Rhys Jones in Liverpool. She appeared in all 4 episodes as Claire Olssen, a key witness in the murder trial.
She is also known for starring in all 7 series of the long-running Sky One sitcom ‘Trollied’, playing customer service assistant Linda.
She has had roles in many high-profile BBC One drama series such as 'Death in Paradise', ‘The Salisbury Poisonings’, the BAFTA nominated ‘Moving On’ and the BAFTA and RTS nominated 'Broken’ which starred Sean Bean.
