Ella is perhaps best known for her role as Mrs Cakeworthy in The Green Green Grass, a part she played in 30 episodes across 4 series between 2005 and 2009.

Ella played the lead role, Mia, in Gates for Sky Living and has played guest roles in Doctor Who, Cuckoo, Heading Out & Big Bad World. Ella has also featured in the hit US comedy Episodes in 2015 and in BBC1's New Tricks. Most recently, Ella can be seen on CBeebies as the regular lead, Captain Sinker on Swashbuckle.
