Pippa Haywood

Philippa Haywood is an English actress who trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

Famous for playing the much-put-upon Helen Brittas in the BBC Two comedy series The Brittas Empire, has an extensive television career which includes Julie Chadwick in the BBC2 comedy Fear, Stress & Anger and the hot-tempered, sex-mad HR boss Joanna Clore in Green Wing (for which she took the "best comedy female performance" award at the 2005 Rose d'Or television festival in Lucerne, Switzerland).

With the exception of an episode of Boon, the first episode of The Brittas Empire, an episode of She-Wolf of London and two episodes of Brush Strokes (all of which credited her as "Phillipa Haywood"), she has always been credited on screen as "Pippa Haywood". Best known for her comedy roles, she has also done some straight acting roles in her career, including the role of Jenny Thorne in the ITV drama serial The One Game. She has filmed a guest role in an episode of the 2009 series of Kingdom.

She has also worked in film and theatre. Recent stage credits include: House and Garden, Private Lives, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Winter's Tale, Requiem and Landscape with Weapon at the National Theatre.
