[edit] Biography
Benjamin was born in Enfield, North London of Sierra Leonean descent, and now lives in Crouch End. She attended Highgate Wood Secondary School from 1995 until 2000. Scarlett Johnson (the most recent actress to play EastEnders character Vicki Fowler) was also a pupil at the school.
In the Goblet of Fire she replaced Danielle Tabor as Angelina Johnson. She was unable to reprise the role in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because of her work in EastEnders.[2] She plays the feisty character of Chelsea Fox in the hit BBC soap, and has done since early 2006. In 2007, Benjamin was nominated for sexiest female at the British Soap Awards. Before joining the EastEnders cast, she filmed a role in upcoming horror film Wishbaby for 21st Century Fox.
Before Goblet of Fire, she had appeared in episodes of The Bill, Rose and Maloney, The Brief and The Last Detective. She had also worked as a model and a backup dancer.[3]
