Born in Leeds England. Rachael moved to London at an early age to train at The Sylvia Young Theatre School where she was awarded the Maggie Melville award for ´The Most Promising Drama Student of the Sylvia Young Theatre School 2004´. After leaving the school she began working professionally immediately and frequently graces our television screens in various programmes such as ´Casualty´, ´Robin Hood´, and ´Doctors´ in which she played the regular role of Emily Fenton. Her most recent acting role in ‘Waterloo Road’ saw Rachael playing a diabetic pupil who refused to take her insulin in order to stay slim causing serious disruption to her health and the school.   Rachael Cairns © 2009
