Kacey Ainsworth is an English actress, best known for playing the long-suffering Little Mo in the BBC soap opera EastEnders.
She made her final appearance in EastEnders in May 2006. Although she has now left the television show, Ainsworth has agreed to contribute to a new book written by a group of Carlisle women with real-life experience of domestic abuse. All contributors have been involved with the domestic violence support group Powwow, jointly run by Carlisle Surestart South and the domestic violence service of Impact Housing Association, which also runs a refuge in the city. The book will include stories and poems written by abuse survivors, as well as practical information about how to get help.
Ainsworth has also appeared in other TV productions such as the British police drama The Bill and detective serial A Touch of Frost. In 2005 it was rumoured that Ainsworth would be appearing in three episodes of the popular ABC drama Desperate Housewives, but this was later proved to be a practical joke spread by her EastEnders co-star Shane Richie (who played Alfie Moon).
She recently appeared as Peter Pan at the Children's Party at the Palace in 2006.
In February 2007, Ainsworth appeared in an episode of Hotel Babylon as a hard-nosed tabloid editor.
She is currently starring in HolbyBlue with Footballer's Wives star, Zoe Lucker for the BBC
She was born in London, England. After suffering a miscarriage in 2002, Ainsworth now has a daughter, Blossom (born in May 2004), and a son, Elwood (born January 2008) with her partner Darren Hales.
