YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW...Alisn
attended The Aveley Comprehensive in Essex. She auditioned
several times for Grange Hill before she was accepted. Mum
June was Grange Hill's senior chaperone from 1978-2002. During
her time on the programme Alison owned a Jack Russell called
Bullet. She's now returning to acting after a break to raise
a family. During that time, she qualified as a beauty therapist.
FAMILY: Alison is mother
to three young boys, Harry, Albert and Arthur, and a baby girl,
born New Year's Day 2005. They've followed in mum's footsteps
- Arthur appeared in EastEnders last Christmas, as well as commercials
for Haven Holidays, Buckaroo and the NSPCC. Albert had a part
in "The Lost Child" story in Doctor Who, and also
the Muddles commercial where he declares "I hate fish!".
Alison also has two brothers, Mark and Dean. It was through
Dean's involvement in a West End play that Alison got into acting.
WHERE IS SHE NOW? Using
her married name Alison Valentine, Alison set up a specialist
freight forwarding company, Kenvale Recruitment, with a business
partner in October 2005. The company is growing but she's
still available for auditions! |
