Who is Sally Phillips and who is the Bridget Jones star’s husband?
SALLY Phillips is certainly no stranger to comedy fans - having starred in a host of big productions.
Whether it is her role in Bridget Jones's Diary, Miranda or cult show Smack the Pony, Phillips is one of Britain's biggest comics. Here's how Sally rose to the top...
Who is Sally Phillips? What's her background?
Sally Elizabeth Phillips was born in Hong Kong on May 10, 1970.
Her father, Tim Phillips, is the former chairman of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and was an executive for British Airways.
Although she was born abroad, Sally moved back to England aged 13 and attended Wycombe Abbey School, an independent boarding school in Bucks.
Sally later went on to study modern languages at Oxford University and graduated with a first class honours degree.
"I think if you always play the ingénue, when you hit 45 it gets difficult.”
Recently, Sally has been moving into presenting work, with spells fronting Comic Relief in March and The One Show in June.
Is Sally married and does she have children?
Sally married her husband Andrew Bermejo in 2003.
The couple have three children together, sons Oliver, Tom and Luke.
Oliver, or Ollie as he is known, has Down's Syndrome.
Last October, Sally wrote and presented a one-hour documentary called A World Without Down's Syndrome.
Ollie appeared in the documentary and Sally explained her own experience of raising a child with the condition.
Sally also spoke about new NHS testing, which can detect Down's Syndrome with 99 per cent certainty just 12 weeks into a pregnancy.
The committed Christian has said she would not have terminated her pregnancy had such tests been around before Ollie was born.
