From Bolton to Robot Stardom | Manchester News
Description
Diane Morgan, breakout star of Ann Droid and creator of the streaming hit “Linda,” is riding a wave of acclaim — but her journey from Bolton’s odd jobs to comedy royalty is wilder than her robot character. Raised in a house where humor beat homework, she worked as a dental assistant, potato peeler, and even got fired from a tea room for not knowing what a cream tea was — before landing her big break on Phoenix Nights thanks to Peter Kay. Now a household name for her deadpan Philomena Cunk, she’s quietly building a legacy with her own show, already climbing charts and begging for a sequel — all while keeping her personal life private with longtime partner Ben Caudell.
