Kim Tiddy

Kim Tiddy (born 3 September 1977, in Surrey), is an English actress best known for playing the part of PC Honey Harman, in the ITV soap opera The Bill, and Heidi Costello in the British Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.

Career

Tiddy and her five brothers and sisters were brought up on an estate in Surbiton, London, by their single mum Roza after their father John left the family home.[1] Tiddy played basketball for England in her teens (her heroes include Michael Jordan), but turned down an American University scholarship.

She trained at the Arden School of Theatre in Manchester, followed by some roles at the Salisbury Playhouse. For two years she struggled in unpaid short film work, and set up a cleaning company to earn an income. She then went to Spain for one summer to earn money in bar work, but decided she had to pursue acting and returned on the day her agent received an offer of a role on The Bill.

Tiddy's last appearance on The Bill was on 25 January 2007, when her character was killed off. Tiddy decided to leave to develop her career in theatre.

It was announced on 12 April 2010 that Tiddy had joined the cast of Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks as ex-model and headstrong mother Heidi Costello, the matriarchal figurehead of the soap's new family, the Costellos.

Her character departed Hollyoaks on 31 October 2011 when Heidi was murdered by her own father, Silas, in a case of mistaken identity.[2]
