Who plays ‘creepy ginger girl’ in Stay Close?
Poppy Gilbert plays the role of Barbie in Stay Close, aka “creepy ginger girl”.
Gilbert was born on 14 September 1998 in London. The 23-year-old budding actress graduated in 2019 from the prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama. She got her first main role in season 9 of Call The Midwife, where she played Lesley Pike.
The actor went on to play Thomasina Tuckerton in Agatha Christie’s The Pale Horse and Kelly Kirk-Lees in Midsomer Murders. She also appeared in Prime’s Leonardo and plays the lead role in BBC and Amazon Prime’s upcoming thriller Chloe, set to be released this year.
The eight-part series of Stay Close features budding actress Poppy Gilbert as Barbie and Hyoie O’Grady as Ken. The fearsome pair play a musical theatre couple who dance around while disposing of dead bodies. It’s fair to say Twitter has had a mixed response to the duo, who dance around to a jazz rendition of Creep by Radiohead and kill people.
