Shirley Cheriton

Shirley Cheriton (born 28 June1955, London) is a British actress and performer, most famous for her roles as Debbie Wilkins in the BBC soap opera "EastEnders" and her portrayal of Miss Prescott in the "Are You Being Served?" follow up, "Grace & Favour". Her "EastEnders" role ran from her arrival in the Square in March 1985 until her departure with Detective Terry Rich (Gary Whelan) in May 1987. Her character is widely remembered as Walford's original middle-classed yuppie as well as for her stormy relationship with the Scottish nurse, Andy O'Brien.

Other television credits include "Angels" where she played Katy Betts/Smart in one of "EastEnders" creator Julia Smith's earlier projects and "MIT:Murder Investigation Team" in 2003.

Cheriton famously left her first husband for her "EastEnders" co-star Ross Davidson, who played her on-screen boyfriend Andy O'Brien. She split with Davidson after five years, married an accountant and is now a mum of two. Cheriton's elder son, Mark, was born in 1983.
