Biography

Early career

When Honeywell was young she went to dance school and gymnastics classes. She completed her education at Ordsall Hall School.[citation needed] At 18, she got her first job, working in Malta as a contortionist for three months,[10] having trained with an acrobatic troupe[11] the Great Kovaks in Doncaster.[2] At 19, she moved to London to play the part of a kitten in Cats, and from musical theatre moved into television.

Later career

Honeywell has acted in several leading theatre productions including The Little Mermaid at the Alban Arena, Peter Pan at Southend, Woking, Southampton, Wimbledon and Horsham, the 2004/05 and 2006/07 CBEEBIES Live! National Arena Tours and the Fimbles National Tour 2006. She also appeared in Falstaff at the Royal Opera House, has played a wide range of characters in television dramas and commercials, and continues to do aerial and skin work.[12] She has also performed a solo show "Love & Magic" at venues across the UK and Europe. Sarah-Jane reviewed a new independent children's book "Pirates don't clean their teeth".[1] She is finished filming the first of 2 brand new series for Cbeebies which went on air in 2010.

In August 2011, her wholesome image came under scrutiny when she controversially appeared on celebrity photographer Marc de Groot's Facebook page, pouring diet coke over an almost see-through vest and posing wearing candyfloss "underwear".[13]

Further emphasising her shift in career direction, Honeywell also filmed scenes for an independent feature film Shadows of a Stranger, a dark psychological thriller released in 2014. Honeywell got engaged to Ayden Callaghan, and the couple were married in 2016. [14] Sarah-Jane has just finished recording a dance album with record producer Dave DMello which is due to be released April 2012.[15]
