BBC stars have paid tribute to Georgina Cates following her death at 51.
The actress, best known for her role on BBC sitcom 2point4 Children, died on May 6 and the show’s creator shared the sad news on social media.
Andrew Marshall wrote on X: “I’m very sad to report, I have just discovered, that lovely and talented Claire Woodgate aka Georgina Cates, our 1st Jenny in 2p4 died last May.
“I have no other details than on IMDb. Sympathies to her family and children. If anyone has further details to share, please do.”
Her cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
The actress was born Clare Elaine Woodgate in Colchester, Essex in 1975 and got her big break in TV when she was just 16 years old as Jenny Porter in the BBC’s 2point4 Children.
Following her breakout role, she auditioned for An Awfully Big Adventure in 1995 but was rejected. At the time, she was still known as Clare Woodgate and so decided to reinvent herself as Georgina Cates, a 17-year-old Scouser with dyed red hair who had no previous acting experience. She re-applied for the role and was hired.
She starred in a number of TV shows and films in the 90s and was hailed for her role in 1998’s Clay Pigeons as Amanda alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn.
