SIAN REESE WILLIAMS

In this episode of Celebrity Side Hustles, Sian Reese Williams chats to Roxy and Matt about

her acting career which has encompassed theatre, tv and musical theatre. This versatile

performer has appeared in productions which have been filmed in Wales, ‘Hinterland’ being

one example, and therefore require both English language and Welsh language versions.

Her successful five year stint on Emmerdale brought her into contact with our hosts before she left to pursue other opportunities.

Acting does not provide regular work or income and in one dry spell Sian decided to fill her

time by learning about pottery and ceramics which she has now turned into a successful side

hustle. Her individual pieces are unusual and very sought after and she discusses how this hobby has been essential for her mental well-being.
