Francoise Boufhal (born 18 December 1988) is an English model, actress and presenter.
Born Françoise Boufhal on 18 December 1988 in Hexham, Northumberland, England, [1] Boufhal grew up and spent most of her childhood in Stocksfield and attended Broomley First school before moving into Newcastle Upon Tyne. She attended Ponteland Middle school.
Boufhal's acting career began at the age of 11 when she joined The Live Theatre Company, a theatrical youth theatre based in Newcastle made famous by Robson Green. [2] Boufhal's first major role was in the hit children's BBC 1 show Byker Grove , where she played Ellie Baines, Stumpy's girlfriend. Boufhal auditioned several times for a role in the show but was deemed 'too sexy', until eventually a part was made for the curvaceous actress. [3] She grew into her body very fast. At the age of 16 she became 'very curvy' and her chest size had increased rapidly. (At the age of 11, she was 28B. By the age of 14, 28D. By 16 she was her full size.) She had a slim figure but was not generally considered tall, which presented difficulty in her modelling and acting career. Boufhal was, however, in the pilot for GRUBBS, a children's cookery program scheduled to be regularly on the Discovery Kids channel.
At 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m), and having a 28H chest, [4] Boufhal was rejected by fashion houses for being too small and having an 'unusual' figure'. [5]
