ABOUT TANYA TURNER
More than anything else, Tanya is a survivor; a strong woman who knows what she wants and will do anything to get it. Although she’s fiercely loyal to the few people who have managed to win her friendship, cross her and she becomes the sort of enemy that nightmares are made of – a predator who can pick out someone’s weakness at 100 yards and who is cold, calculating and remorseless in her revenge. She’s also intelligent and resourceful enough to manipulate a harmful situation to her advantage, but this strength is flawed by her belief that without a man and her glamorous lifestyle, she’s nothing.

Interview with Zoe about Tanya and Footballers Wives

What’s the best thing about being in footballers’ wives?
It is such a brilliant character to play and all the crew, the cast, the locations, the costumes and storylines are all fantastic.. I’m very lucky.

What do you like best about your character?
I love that she’s such a survivor. She is very strong and I really enjoy seeing what she gets up to.

What do you dislike most about your character?
I think her constant greed for more money and more status.

Are you like your character at all? How do you think you would get on with them if you met them in real life?
There are traces of Tanya that are definitely a bit like me, as I guess to a certain extent we’re both survivors, but I wouldn’t go to the extremes that she does, and I wouldn’t use people like she does in order to get on in life.

Do you like the clothes that your character wears? Would you wear them as yourself?
I love all her clothes, Sarah Arthur the Costume Designer does a really fantastic job.

What do your friends and family think of your role in footballers’ wives?
They love it. They love Footballers’ Wives, and they love Tanya!
