Naomi was born in Hallaton, Leicestershire in 1991. After a small role in an episode of 'The Bill' she was a resident cast member in the children's TV comedy drama 'My Almost Famous Family. For this she had to dye her blonde hair red and assume the part of a musical genius, something she admits to not being. After playing a precocious young girl in the daytime series 'The Indian Doctor' she moved onto playing another precocious and very manipulative girl, Gabriella Wark in school series 'Waterloo Road', though at least in both of these she was allowed to stay blonde.
