Gillian's love for Musical Theatre started at an early age after the movie “Oliver!” got stuck in her DVD player and she spent every night performing a two-man show with her twin sister for a whole year and competing in talent competitions as Dodger and Oliver (true story).

Growing up, she performed with Youth Musical Theatre Scotland in productions such as “Annie”, “Les Miserables”, “Sweeney Todd” and many others where she found her love for live, on-stage performing.

Whilst studying Professional Musical Theatre, Gillian had fantastic opportunities and was chosen as one of the dancers for Ken Dodd’s UK Happiness Tour and in her third year was selected as Dance Captain for their musical production of “Loserville”. It was during her third year that she also found her passion for fitness alongside her dream to perform.

Since graduating in 2016, Gillian has performed many roles across the UK including Belle in “Beauty and the Beast”, Cinderella, Lucy in “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe”, Glinda in “The Wizard of Oz”, Little Red in “Red Riding Hood” and many more. Gillian has also successfully landed roles in TV commercials, feature films and children’s presenting. Gillian is currently an activities host onboard Celebrity Cruises and spreads the word of Musical Theatre Fitness far and wide!
