Leah Byrne grew up in Yoker, Glasgow, and began attending the Scottish Youth Theatre at the age of 11. Naturally shy as a child, she credits her time at SYT with giving her the confidence and skills to pursue a career in acting. She went on to study at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, graduating with a BA in Acting in 2019. Leah’s older brother Nathan is also an actor, but they are not from a showbusiness background. Their dad Petee worked as a postman, and their mum Elizabeth is a retired call centre worker. ==Filmography==
