A BLACKBURN actress makes her television debut tonight (Tuesday).
Ursula Holden Gill will appear in tonight's episode of police drama The Bill, playing heroin addict Emma Whalley.
Twenty-four-year-old Ursula is a former pupil of St Wilfrid's High School, Blackburn. She studied performing arts at St Martin's College, Lancaster, and is currently attending Drama Studio London in Ealing.
Ursula's parents, Marian and Brian live in Coldstream Place, Blackburn. She has one younger sister, Imogen, 20, who is studying to be a hockey coach.
Mrs Gill, who has been involved with various local theatre groups, said: "I think Ursula was born to it. Ever since she was tiny she has been with me at rehearsals."
The Bill episode was filmed three months ago. Ursula is currently appearing with the Flesh and Blood Theatre Company at the Battersea Arts Centre.
