Sally Anne Marsh (born 14 October 1972 in Pembury, Kent) is a British singer and actress who came to fame originally as a member of a short lived girlband with Diana Barrand and Dani Behr called Faith Hope & Charity (she was Hope).

Performing career

After Faith Hope and Charity, her musical career included being the vocalist for electronic music group Xpansions whose major techno hit single Move Your Body (Elevation) reached Number 7 in 1991 before being remixed and rereleased several times over the nineties due to demand.

In addition to her musical career, she is a freelance voiceover artiste who does work for GCap Media and EMAP radio, as well as the Tindle Radio Group.

As an actress, she has appeared in children's programmes as many characters including Vicky in Bodger and Badger (in which she played a drumkit), Nurse Kitty in Hilltop Hospital, Lucy in BBC's Tricky Business, Princess Irene in The Princess and the Goblin, Gina in A Monkey's Tale, Giselle in Santa and the Tooth Fairies and its sequel TV series Tales of the Tooth Fairies and Cecile Lefevre in Grange Hill.
