Early life

Prescott was born in Palmers Green, London, and is six minutes younger than her twin sister Kathryn Prescott, who is also an actress. She also has a younger brother, Ben. Prior to acting professionally, Prescott attended weekly drama classes, where she met future Skins co-star Lily Loveless.

Career

Although Prescott made her acting debut in an episode of the BBC soap opera Doctors alongside her twin sister Kathryn in 2008, her breakthrough role was as Katie Fitch in the third and fourth series of Skins (2009 - 2010).

After appearing in Skins, Prescott briefly enrolled at university to study television production and directing, before dropping out.[1][2]

In 2013, Prescott appeared as Jade Podfer on the British medical drama Holby City and in horror movie Shortcuts To Hell: Volume 1, as well as the feature film Sleeping Rough.

In 2016, Prescott began to pursue bodybuilding. A friend of hers, who was just beginning a career as a personal trainer, offered her training sessions for "a fiver"[3], which led to her later competing in bodybuilding professionally.[4] Ahead of competing in the finals of the UKBFF Bikini Fitness, she appeared on the reality show Body Fixers.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Prescott started an OnlyFans page as a source of income.[5]

In 2024 she wrote the one-woman play, Really Good Exposure, going on to perform it at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.[6] The play was reprised at the Soho Theatre in 2025.[7]

Personal life

In December 2021, Prescott was diagnosed with autism.[8][9] She also has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.[10]
