Eleanor Tomlinson is Demelza in the new BBC drama Poldark.

Eleanor is the daughter of singer Judith Hibbert and actor Malcolm Tomlinson. She was born in London but was brought up in Beverley, Yorkshire. As a child she dreamed of becoming a vet but one day, after watching her father on the set of The Bill she says, "I looked around and saw my dad having a great time and how much fun he could have experimenting with his character and everything that went into it. I just fell in love with it."

Eleanor played Isabelle in Jack and the Giant Slayer and Isabel Neville in The White Queen.

In an interview with the Yorkshire Post in 2010 she says, "I know that I have been incredibly lucky. All I want for the future is to be able to do some really classic work which I really enjoy doing and have a lot of fun. You never know what's round the next corner." Indeed you don't,
