ACTRESS Sinead Moynihan was once one of Britain’s most recognisable faces, when her character on Hollyoaks was at the centre of a shocking soap storyline.
But now the 42-year-old has turned her back on the bright lights of fame for an entirely different career.

In 2007, Sinead was starring as the character Beth Clement, on the Channel 4 soap who was involved in an incestuous relationship with her half-brother Rhys.
The storyline made national headlines and raised the actress’s profile considerably.
But these days the mother-of-two boys is working in finance, having found work as a mortgage broker.
The former model has joined a company called Asstez Capital- one of the ‘UK’s leading property finance lenders” as a Relationship Director.
It seems after her character died in a car crash back in 2008, her on screen career didn’t quite gain the momentum needed to sustain a career in the spotlight, as many actors find.
Having worked as a model from the age of 16, at the age of 24 she landed a role in the BBC 3 drama, Drop Dead Gorgeous.
A year later she was cast as Beth Clements in Hollyoaks, continuing the role until 2008.
She then starred in the BBC 3 Sitcom, How Not to Live your Life, followed by a few adverts, but then the work began to dry up.
Having become a mother in her 20s, Sinead has two sons, Dylan, 21 and Jacob, 15.
