Biography

Amelia first started making videos with her younger brother on an old camera, before joining Musical.ly (later TikTok) in September 2015. Her career as a comedy sketch artist began in August 2016 when she started writing and performing short sketches for her YouTube channel,[2][3][4] although she had attempted to have a Youtube career on three occasions prior to this.[1]

In April 2018, Amelia appeared in an episode of British soap Hollyoaks, where she played an exaggerated version of herself.[5]

Amelia was approached by the BBC in mid-2018 to create a comedy series[4] intended to be a female-led comedy sketch show, eventually becoming The Amelia Gething Complex.[1] Made by CBBC In-House Productions[6], the show was released on iPlayer in October 2019[7] before being broadcast on BBC Two a month later.[8] A second season was commissioned by the BBC to be broadcast in 2021.[9]

Having always wanted to enter the "traditional acting" world[4], Amelia was cast as Ursula Pole in the second season of the Starz historical drama The Spanish Princess, broadcast in October-November 2020.[1]
