Casey-Lee Jolleys Casey-Lee Jolleys

Casey-Lee made her television debut at the tender age of nine years old singing and dancing her way into the final on Saturday Superstore's 'Search for a Superstar' (BBC).

After winning numerous British, English and World Championship titles in ballet, tap, modern and disco dancing Casey-Lee was asked to partner the late Roy Castle in a tap dancing duet at the Children’s Royal Variety Show in front of Princess Margaret. To date no one has ever won all three British dance championships in ballet, tap and modern dancing and retained them for more than three consecutive years.

Nippon Television in Tokyo Japan invited Casey-Lee to appear in a program featuring talented children from around the world which was an incredible experience at nine years of age.

Having got the chance to co-host the Saturday morning program It’s Wicked (BBC) she caught the bug of presenting live television and later went on to present Channel 5’s Milkshake for two years. Casey-Lee also appeared in the children’s drama series Gruey (BBC) followed by Gruey Twoey playing the part of Annie Mappin.

After completing her A levels Casey-Lee performed in the west end hit musicals Starlight Express and Miss Saigon. She has also stared in many pantomimes up and down the country. Aladdin Lowry Theatre Salford (Princess Jasmine) , Peter Pan Palace Theatre Mansfield (Tinker bell) , Dick Whittington Theatre Royal Plymouth and New Theatre Cardiff (Alice Fitzwarren) , Jack and The Beanstalk New Wimbledon Theatre London (Princess Apricot) , Cinderella Palace theatre Mansfield (Cinderella) and Aladdin Theatre Royal Glasgow (Princess Jasmine).

Casey-Lee stared in the popular children’s series Beachcomber Bay for channel 5 and due to its overwhelming success filmed it for three years. When Coronation Street (ITV Granada) asked Casey-Lee to play the part of Orchid / Stacey she was thrilled and won a Heritage award for her performance in this role.

Casey-Lee is proud to be staring in the pantomime Jack & the Beanstalk in Preston this year (2007) and what makes it extra special is that the babes will be children from the dance academy.
