Background [link]
Rushbrook went to Fearnhill School in Letchworth, Hertfordshire,[citation needed] and then attended drama school.[1] She worked mainly in theatre for around five years before moving into film and television.[1] She guest starred in the episodes "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit" in Doctor Who and had supporting roles in films Secrets & Lies and Spice World.[1] Her Doctor Who guest star status earned her a position in a Doctor Who celebrity edition of The Weakest Link but ended up being the 4th one voted off. She also appeared in the 2008 BBC comedy drama Mutual Friends and the 2009 ITV1 dramas Whitechapel and Collision, both alongside Phil Davis.
In 2008 she featured in a series of advertisements for the UK supermarket Sainsbury's.[citation needed]
