Where else have I seen Alexandra Roach before?
Fan of Channel 4’s police drama No Offence will be no stranger to actress Alexandra Roach. The 33-year-old played DS Joy Freers until the final series when she was tragically shot in the first episode.
The actress is also no stranger to a period drama, having appeared in the ITV adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sanditon. She played long-suffering Diana Parker, sister to heartthrob Sidney Parker.
She’s also taken on meaty roles including a young Margaret Thatcher in the biopic movie The iron lady starring Meryl Streep. Roach played a younger version of the former prime minister in the film that went on to win Streep her third Academy Award for Best Actress.
Acting is also certainly nothing new to Alexandra, as she began performing at just 11 years old. She then went on to land a part in the Welsh-language soap Pobol Y Cwm in her early teens.
Who is Alexandra Roach married to?

Alexandra Roach as Zoe Sterling
In the new drama Viewpoint, Alexandra plays single mum Zoe Sterling who gets close to Noel Clarke’s dark and brooding DC Martin Young.
In the series, Zoe lends her flat to be the surveillance base for the police as they investigate the disappearance of teacher Gemma Hillman. As surveillance officer Martin Young keeps watch on Gemma’s flat, he also gets close to Zoe and complications ensue.
Speaking in an interview, Alexandra described Zoe: “Zoe’s been waiting for something like this, an exciting chapter in her life, to happen for years.
“When [Martin] turns up with his kit… she feels alive again.
“She’s flawed and she’s messy and that really contradicted what energy he brings into her flat.”
