Ellie White

Ellie could recently be seen reprising her lead role of Cathy, alongside co-leads Siobhan Finneran, Lauren Socha and Rebecca Front, in the second series of Holly Walsh’s THE OTHER ONE. The first series aired on BBC One in 2020 to rave reviews and the second series has also been met with acclaim.

In late 2021 and early 2022, Ellie filmed a key role in the tentpole Warner Bros' feature - WONKA.

Ellie has played the regular role of Katia in three series of Jamie Demetriou’s hit Channel 4 series STATH LETS FLATS. The series has won multiple BAFTAs and airs on HBO Max in the US. 

Ellie and comedy partner, Natasia Demetriou, filmed their sketch series, ELLIE & NATASIA, for the BBC last year, which they made with CPL and Harry Hill. It launched on BBC Three and iPlayer in June 2022 to exceptional reviews (see below). The show has been commissioned for a second series, which is set to film next year. This will see the format set to move from BBC Three to BBC Two. The first series was shortlisted for a Rose d'Or Award and won the award for Best Sketch Series at the Comedy.co.uk Awards 2022. It was also nominated for Best Comedy Programme at the 2023 Broadcast Digital Awards.

‘The element that should raise the show to cult status is their own genius’ ★★★★★ The Independent

‘These two have funny bones and such a fabulous talent for accents.’ ★★★★ The Times

‘There is a lot of scalpel-sharp social satire here, but it is delivered with unusual nonchalance’ ★★★★ The Guardian

‘That this sketch takes not one but two entirely unexpected turns is testament to the duo’s creativity and ability to constantly surprise.’ ★★★★ Chortle

‘A rapid-fire compendium featuring two comic actresses of extraordinary versatility.’ ★★★★ The Daily Mail

The series followed a pilot, which was released in June 2019 to critical acclaim:

“This fearless new sketch show from comedians Ellie White and Natasia Demetriou is French and Saunders for the Fleabag generation.” The Sun

“Inventive, silly sketch show, featuring mummy bloggers, eastern European nail technicians and one sketch so sinister it puts David Lynch to shame.” The Guardian

“Their creations are fuelled by the fluent silliness of natural comic performers.” Radio Times

In late 2021 and early 2022, Ellie filmed a key role in the tentpole Warner Bros' feature - WONKA.

Ellie has played the regular role of Katia in three series of Jamie Demetriou’s hit Channel 4 series STATH LETS FLATS. The series has won multiple BAFTAs and airs on HBO Max in the US. 

Her portrayal of Princess Beatrice in the smash hit Channel 4 show THE WINDSORS, which has run for two seasons and had two specials, has garnered acclaim from critics and the show's viewing numbers have been fantastic. 

In early 2019, Ellie could be seen opposite Steve Coogan in THIS TIME WITH ALAN PARTRIDGE on BBC One. Other notable acting credits include the BBC’s CLASS DISMISSED, HOUSE OF FOOLS, in which she starred alongside creators Vic and Bob, Matt Berry and Morgana Robinson, and MURDER IN SUCCESSVILLE, in which she played various characters including Cara Delevigne. She had a regular role in ITV2’s GLITCHY, and has a key guest role alongside Steve Pemberton and Reese Shearsmith in Series 3 of INSIDE NO. 9: THE BILL, which won a BAFTA for Best Writing.

In 2018, Ellie and Natasia had a sell-out run at the Soho Theatre and appeared in Dictionary Corner in character as “Mum’s the Word” on Channel 4’s 8 OUT OF 10 CATS DOES COUNTDOWN.

Ellie’s acting skills are not restricted to the screen. In 2017, she played the role of Marianne in Sean Foley's production of THE MISER alongside Griff Rhys Jones, Lee Mack and Matthew Horne at The Garrick Theatre in London's West End. She received some lovely write-ups:

'Ellie White brilliantly channels the plummy vowels of the (very) upper classes as Marianne.' - Whats on Stage

'Fringe favourite Ellie White is memorable, too, as the super-privileged Marianne, poshly-spoken to the point of incomprehension.' - Chortle

'Ellie White as Marianne is a surprise highlight of the evening, with her overly refined enunciation making her almost incomprehensible to the other characters.' - British Theatre

On the writing front, Ellie co-wrote a Sky short, VICKI PEPPERDINE AND ELLIE WHITE’S SUMMER, with Vicki Pepperdine for Sky Arts. She also starred.

Ellie currently has several projects in development with prestigious production companies.
