DMA COACH
Melissa Batchelor is a versatile English actress hailing from West London, whose creative journey began as a trained dancer at the Sylvia Young Theatre School. She made her theatrical debut at just 12 years old in productions like The Sound of Music and Cavalcade. By age 15, she transitioned to screen acting, landing prominent roles in shows such as Harry & Cosh, Casualty, Benidorm, and UGETME. Melissa is perhaps best known for her breakout role as Rosie Mole in the beloved BBC adaptation Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years.
After a brief hiatus abroad to start a family, she made a powerful return to television, securing roles in high-profile series like the BAFTA-winning Top Boy and the Emmy‑nominated I May Destroy You. On the big screen, she’s featured in Krays: Code of Silence and took the lead as Demi in Netflix’s Three Day Millionaire, which debuted among the top 5 UK films on its release. With an expressive range spanning comedy, drama, and horror (notably the lead in Kronin), Melissa continues to evolve as a dynamic presence in British film and television.
