Life and career
[edit]Chambers is of English and Northern Irish descent, with her being based between Otley and Belfast. Whilst in year three, she participated in a school assembly, after which her mother was told she should enrol Chambers in an acting school.[2] She then joined Articulate Agency in West Yorkshire when she was in primary school.[3] She attended Prince Henry's Grammar School in Otley, where she appeared in their production of School of Rock. Whilst there, she balanced schoolwork with professional acting, including appearances in stage productions at the Leeds Playhouse.[4] In 2021, Chambers appeared in her first professional acting role as Chloe Tuckman in the ITV1 procedural series Viewpoint.[5] The following year, she made her film debut in the 2022 film Floodlights. Then in 2023, she was cast as Monika in the CBBC series Silverpoint whilst also studying for her GCSEs.[4]
In 2024, Chambers joined the cast of ITV1's The Bay for its fifth series. She portrayed the main role of Poppy Richards.[6] That same year, she recurred on the BBC series The Listeners.[7] In 2025, she portrayed a young version of Alexandra Roach's character in the Prime Video series Lazarus,[1] as well as recurring as Georgie Duck in Changing Ends, Alan Carr's ITVX series.[5] Also in 2025, Chambers was cast in the regular role of Cat Guthrie in the BBC school drama series Waterloo Road.[8] She made her debut in its fifteenth series.[9] Speaking about Cat, she said: "Cat is an outgoing, confident young lady, who's not afraid of confrontation. She's out and proud, she identifies as a lesbian, but she won't let anybody label her. She is very eager to make friends when she joins Waterloo Road, but she also won't bat an eyelid if anybody's not interested in being her friend because she doesn't really care what people think of her and she's not self-conscious."[10]
