Cherry Healey
Best known for her hugely successful BBC3 documentaries, Cherry is insightful, witty, challenging and compassionate about the subjects she covers, with a genuine desire to give voice to the true character of the contributors she encounters.
Cherry cut her onscreen teeth in BBC3's 1 hour documentary “Drinking with the Girls” in 2009. After the success of this programme, Cherry was commissioned to make three further documentaries for BBC3: Cherry Has a Baby, Cherry Goes Dating and Cherry Gets Married which were broadcast in September 2010. In April 2011 her documentary exploring all things surrounding breast feeding “Is Breast Best?” was broadcast on BBC Three.
Her most 3 recent films: Cherry’s Dilemma’s on Money, Body Image and Parenting were broadcast on BBC3 in August this year. Cherry is currently working on three new projects for BBC One and BBC Three.
With a Degree in Drama Education/ Drama for Social Change from Central School of Speech and Drama, Cherry has a particular interest in women's ever-changing roles in society - giving light to new cultural trends in a (sometimes painfully!) honest and entertaining way. Whilst studying, she set up a company teaching dance to kids at risk of exclusion in community centres.
She is a drama, hip-hop and break-dance teacher, having herself competed in several national competitions (and has also been a backing dancer for the infamous Ice T!). She also played lacrosse for the county whilst at school.
Cherry has also written for several publications including Grazia, You Me Baby magazine, and Cellardoor online, and has a unique and funny style that appeals to a wide audience.
