Kenny made her professional debut in the 2007 BBC television drama Coming Down The Mountain[2] and in 2009 her film debut in Phil Claydon's Lesbian Vampire Killers.[3] She has also played the role of Kate in an improvisational BBC production called Freefall written and directed by Dominic Savage,[4] which was screened in 2009. In January 2010 Kenny began her role in the EastEnders spin-off EastEnders: E20 as Zsa Zsa Carter, as well as EastEnders itself.[5] Kenny was cast in the role of Zsa Zsa after writing the second episode of EastEnders: E20.[6] A second series of EastEnders: E20 was announced in April 2010, with Kenny returning as a writer,[7] though it was announced the following month that Zsa Zsa would be written out of EastEnders so Kenny could pursue further acting roles.[8] She made her last appearance on 30 September 2010.
In 2010 Kenny was painted by Rolf Harris as Titania from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream for an edition of BBC TV's Arena ("Rolf Harris Paints His Dream").[9]
