Early life

Jessie was born in Moseley,[2] and grew up on a canal boat.[1] She spent some of her childhood in London and was homeschooled from the age of 14 before returning to Birmingham when she was 17. Her family struggled financially; Jessie described the experiences that came with it, such as bailiffs coming to the door, as traumatic.[1] In addition, her parents split and her father was not around. Her single mother, Dawn, worked cleaning houses to provide for her and her brother.[3][4]

Jessie's mother also worked to afford her ballet lessons at the Challis School of Dance. She was subsequently discovered by student director Hannah Phillips who cast her in several amateur productions.[5] Jessie trained part-time at the Susi Earnshaw Theatre School and spent a year studying with the Birmingham Library Theatre Company.[6] She then signed with an agent in 2012.[2]

Between 2014 and 2016, Jessie starred in the BAFTA-winning CBBC Online web series Dixi as Shari.[9] In 2015, she was cast as WPC Annie Taylor, the lead character in the third series of the BBC One television programme WPC 56.[2][10] She was a guest in Josh, playing the protagonist’s love interest. Jessie acted in the 2014 short film Copy That directed by Kingsley Hoskins which won the Best Comedic Short Film award at TSFA in New York.[11] Jessie made her feature film debut as Doris in the 2016 war film Their Finest.

Breakthrough (2017–present)

In 2017, she starred as DC Jodie Taylor in series four of Line of Duty on BBC One and Lucy in the Dave sitcom Porters, the latter of which she would return to for its second series. The following year, she played Amelia Sedley in the ITV miniseries adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair.[12][13] She also made a guest appearance in the Doctor Who episode "Kerblam!" in 2018.[14]

In 2020, Jessie began playing Eloise, the fifth Bridgerton child, in the Shondaland-produced Netflix period drama Bridgerton, an adaptation of the Regency romance novels by Julia Quinn.[15] Jessie stars in Bali 2002 for Stan and 9Network, an Australian drama about the real life 2002 Bali bombings. Jessie plays real-life survivor Polly Miller, a newlywed British tourist.[16]
