Angela Saunders
Angela Saunders (born May 1977 in Bromley, Kent) is an English model and actress.
Saunders trained as a youth in tap dance and ballet. She then became a hospital worker who did part-time modelling work, and after appearing as a nurse in the Scottish soap opera "McCallum", aged 21 she became a dancer on a cruise ship.
On her return to the UK, she became a full-time model and then grid-girl for three years in Formula One.[1] She also had a job on Ant and Dec's children's show, "SMTV Live".
She then got the part in 2002 as Tash Parker on Sky One's "Dream Team" football soap opera. While undertaking the part, ITV1 asked her to audition for the similar "Footballers Wives" – first for the role of Chardonnay, and then a blonde named Cheryl. ITV scrapped the idea because the character was allegedly too much like Sheryl Gascoigne.
Although previously a big Arsenal F.C. fan, in 2003 she married then Birmingham City footballer Stephen Clemence. The couple have two children, 1st born in February 2005 and 2 May 2007.
