Allanah Scully

Allanah Scully from Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath in Ireland was born on 01/11/1994 and has been singing, dancing, modeling and acting since the age of three. She has been a star pupil in the Billy Barry Stage School, AKTS - Adele King Theatre School (Adele is better known as Twink, one of Ireland's top female entertainers) and more recently with Ann Kavanagh Theatre School and Spotlight Stage School.

In 2006, after strenuous audtions in London, she was chosen to play the lead role of Bel Barter in CITV's Bel's Boys. This was Ulster's 'first ever' children's drama' and was filmed entirely in Belfast. During one of the breaks between series when Allanah was attending her local school in Dunshaughlin she had the top of one of her fingers sliced off on a door. Despite the painful, but thankfully successful, surgery and daily post op hospital visits Allanah continued to film the remaining episodes - the act of a 'real trooper'. There were 26 episodes of the show produced, which had its first airing in October of 2006. So popular was the show that it was still enjoying re-runs in December 2007.

In December of 2006 Allanah, by kind permission of Endemol and CITV, played Bel in a specially written part in 'Cinders' with Queen of panto June Rogers in the 98 fm and No.1 Christmas Panto in the Olympia, Dublin. Music mogul Louis Walsh compiled a video to Bel that was aired during the show.

In December 2007 and January 2008 Allanah performed with pop group The Koolpops in 'Jack And The Beanstalk', which was yet another sell-out panto with June Rogers.

Currently Endemol are in discussions with RTÉ, BCI and UTV for a third series. Watch this space!
