Andrea Arnold plays the part of Dawn in No 73. Andrea, who is 23, comes from Essex. When she left school she joined a roller-skating dance group and appeared on many television programmes including "Jim'll Fix It", "Top of the Pops" and "Blue Peter". She later branched out on her own, doing fashion shows, commercials and singing telegrams, as well as competing in Britain's Disco Dancing Championships.

Andrea will be seen again on the TV screens later in the summer when she co-presents a new TVS children's programme TALKING ANIMAL with international zoo vet, David Taylor. Her many hobbies and interests range from weight training and riding to the country-side and vegetarian cooking.
