Lady Felicia, born Felicity Cecelia Foldleplum-Nodules-Hoarse, grew up in Surrey, where she was educated at Our Mother Of The Twinset School for Privileged Girls in the quaint village of Fiddlington-On-The-Knobbe. Her fondest memories of her school years include a Czechoslovakian Exchange Trip, being voted Chairwoman of the Twinset Needlepoint Society, and her first major venture into theatre, the lead role of Chinita Scrout in "Roger, Where Are Your Galoshes?", a little known musical by the acclaimed author Barbara Cartland.
Felicia knew from the moment she first trod the boards that this was where she belonged (on the stage, not in Fiddlington-on-the-Knobbe Village Hall), and so after being sent to finishing school abroad (a time it is advisable never to mention to Felicia herself; she refers to it only as The Dark Year), she decided to pursue her career in the entertainment industry.
Her early career, sadly, was fraught with disappointment. After a brief sojourn with Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber, she was promised the lead role in a new musical he was writing, but was advised on medical grounds that she should no longer continue her ballet training due to her hyper-flexible spine, and so the musical was put on the back burner, and much later, the role of Christine in The Phantom Of The Opera was begrudgingly given to Sarah Brightman, making her a household name.
This unlucky turn of events took its toll on dear Felicia, and after a recuperation period at The Nine Tails Correctional Institute, she once again ventured into the theatrical world.
It was at this point that she met her agent and dear friend, Kenneth (Kenny) Pirouette. Kenny, she upholds to this day, helped her single-handedly reach the pinnacle of her career, and has supported her through good times and bad alike.
She worked briefly with Pans People, before they eventually folded, and has performed with the likes of Bruce Forsythe, Christopher Biggins and even Judith Chalmers, with whom she appeared in the beloved TV series "Flic And Jude Go For A Salad" and the spin-off, "Flic And Jude; The Happy Eater Tour."
She has never forgotten her roots, however, and when her parents sadly passed away in a freak cucumber grating accident, she founded the Foldleplum-Nodules-Hoarse Dance Academy in their memory. She still occasionally gives masterclasses there, and her most recent alumni include Kate Winslet, Toyah Willcox and Jemima Torque, the girl in the Cillit Bang commercials.
Throughout the late 70s and early 80s, she was most well known as the face of Waitrose, and the adverts she filmed for their Meringue Fillings With A Difference range won her great critical acclaim.
It was on a shoot for one of these commercials that she met her late husband, a certain film actor, who for legal reasons must remain nameless, but who we shall refer to only by a pseudonym, Shiver Deanix. Their love bloomed all to fast, and after a top secret wedding, they spent just a few short years together before his tragic demise.
Felicia, bereft, buried herself in performing, and some of her darkest work was produced during this time. Her Medea on Broadway (Fulham Broadway) gained critical acclaim, as did her very sinister take on the role of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, set in Communist Russia.
Since then, she has worked extensively all over the UK and abroad (mainly in Fuengirola), as well as being a regular on the cruises, appearing in her brainchild review show, "Chip Butties Or Bust" with her dear friend Jane MacDonald. Indeed, their rendition of the famous duet "What Does It Take To Get Vinegar Stains Out Of Nylon" went platinum, and has since been covered by the likes of Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer, The Cheeky Girls, and most recently, Susan Boyle.
Upcoming projects include her one woman tour of "The Regina Monologues" which combines many of Shakespeare's famous female roles with the music of Demis Roussos, and "2B Or Not 2B", a docu-drama on BBC2 about Georgia O'Keeffe.
However, at the moment, she is channelling all her energy into the 70s Disco Musical "Hot Stuff" at The Queens Theatre in Hornchurch, in which she is playing the lead role of Lucy Fur.
That, and knitting guinea pig sleeping blankets in her spare time.
