Music Griffiths was a member of an unsuccessful
all-female band Orchid, who originally recorded the song "
Sound of the Underground" in 2001. However their version was never released, and the song became a hit only when it was subsequently re-recorded and released by
Louis Walsh's pop group
Girls Aloud. In 2003, Griffiths was one of the first of four students chosen by the public to appear on the second series of the
BBC TV show
Fame Academy when it was revealed in the press that she was the girlfriend of
Formula One driver
Jenson Button. Despite complaints that she was with a celebrity boyfriend and that her former recording and songwriting experience gave her an unfair advantage, she made it to the final eight before being voted out. Although Griffiths did not get a recording contract after the show, one of the songs she co-wrote with fellow student
Alistair Griffin, "A Heart Can't Lie", was included on his debut album
Bring It On which reached No. 12 in the
UK Albums Chart in January 2004. Griffiths also worked alongside
Malcolm McDowell and
Holly Valance for the video game
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 in 2009 playing Commander Lydia Winters. In early 2010, Griffiths had a recurring role in the popular
MTV series
Warren the Ape. Griffiths had a supporting role in the film
Tekken, which starred
Luke Goss and
Ian Anthony Dale, who was one of the lead roles in the
NBC series
The Event. The film also starred the well-known American character actor
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Griffiths starred in ''
All's Faire in Love'', released in October 2011, opposite
Christina Ricci,
Matthew Lillard,
Cedric the Entertainer, and
Ann-Margret. She also played the role of 'Mary Gardocki' on
NCIS in episode 21 from Season 9 "Rekindled", which aired on 17 April 2012. Griffiths played 'Denese Saintclaire' alongside
