Sacha is best known in the soap for her portrayal of Sian Powers in Coronation Street, making her first appearance in 2009. During her time in the soap - Sacha took part in many hard hitting storylines.

Sian was disowned by her father Vinnie after coming out after striking a relationship with Sophie Webster. The pair became the show's first lesbian couple.

However, things took a turn at their wedding when Sophie ran off while saying her vows. Sian later learned that Sophie had kissed Amber Kalirai.

The devastation was too much for Sian, who left Weatherfield and returned to Southport to be with her mother Janet.

Since her departure from the cobbles in 2011, Sacha has starred in a number of dramas including My Mad Fat Diary, Mr Selfridge, Cold Feet, and most recently ITV's The Bay.
