Hollyoaks star whose incest storyline shocked Britain has quit acting for VERY different career away from the cameras
ACTRESS Sinead Moynihan was once one of Britain’s most recognisable faces, when her character on Hollyoaks was at the centre of a shocking soap storyline.
But now the 42-year-old has turned her back on the bright lights of fame for an entirely different career.
In 2007, Sinead was starring as the character Beth Clement, on the Channel 4 soap who was involved in an incestuous relationship with her half-brother Rhys.
The storyline made national headlines and raised the actress’s profile considerably.
But these days the mother-of-two boys is working in finance, having found work as a mortgage broker.
The former model has joined a company called Asstez Capital- one of the ‘UK’s leading property finance lenders” as a Relationship Director.
It seems after her character died in a car crash back in 2008, her on screen career didn’t quite gain the momentum needed to sustain a career in the spotlight, as many actors find.
Having worked as a model from the age of 16, at the age of 24 she landed a role in the BBC 3 drama, Drop Dead Gorgeous.
A year later she was cast as Beth Clements in Hollyoaks, continuing the role until 2008.
She then starred in the BBC 3 Sitcom, How Not to Live your Life, followed by a few adverts, but then the work began to dry up.
Having become a mother in her 20s, Sinead has two sons, Dylan, 21 and Jacob, 15.
