EastEnders fans will recognise Zaraah Abrahams as Chelsea Fox, but outside of the show the actress has also had notable roles in several other soaps, including Coronation Street
In 2020, Zaraah Abrahams burst onto our TV screens in the iconic Christmas episode of EastEnders, taking over the role of Chelsea Fox, the daughter of Diane Parish's Denise Fox. Since then Zaraah has been involved in some dramatic storylines as Chelsea, including her marriage to serial killer Gray Atkins and her involvement with criminal Ravi Gulati.
She spent a lot of evenings in her new city on her own, watching episodes of Countdown. "It was really tough. Eventually, I made friends that I am going to have for life and I found a flat and found where Sainsbury's was in Manchester," she continued. But EastEnders and Coronation Street aren't the only soaps the star has been in over the years. In addition to this, Zaraah has also appeared in Waterloo Road as Michaela White, and Holby City as Alisa Cole. Fans may remember she got her start as Magda in Girls in Love, a television adaptation of the book series of the same name by Jacqueline Wilson. She was just a teen at the time.
Despite her career success, there was a time when Zaraah almost considered quitting acting for good, but then she was given a dream role by Hollywood director, Spike Lee, who told her she could be "the next Halle Berry". Spike spotted Zaraah in a short film called Black Girl in Paris and cast her as the lead in his movie, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus when she was 26.
