Zaraah Abrahams was born 7th January 1987 in London. She trained as an actress at the Italia Conti Stage School and gained her big break in 2003 when she appeared in the regular role of Magda in Girls in Love, an adaptation of Jacqueline Wilson's teenage fiction made by Granada Television. This brought her to the attention of the producers of Coronation Street who cast her in the part of Underworld factory worker Joanne Jackson, a part she played between 2005 to 2007.

After the Street, she played Michaela White in Waterloo Road between 2008 and 2010, returning the following year for the online-only spin-off Waterloo Road Reunited. She was also a contestant on the popular ITV1 series Dancing on Ice, where her skills were demonstrated in a nationwide tour with Olympic gold medallists Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean. She has portrayed Chelsea Fox in EastEnders since October 2020.
