Caroline was born and brought up in South Wales and is very proud of her Welsh heritage. Her family are from Port Talbot, birthplace of such brilliant actors as Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, and her big cousin Michael Sheen.

Showbusiness runs in her family. Her parents had a keen involvement with the local amateur operatic society, her Uncle is a Jack Nicholson Lookalike, and her Great Great Grandmother was the first ever Lion Tamer and travelled from Wales to America with Barnum’s Circus.

She graduated with first class honours from Guildford School of Acting, after gaining a lot of performing experience with Gwent Young People’s Theatre and the National Youth Theatre of Wales.
