Rachel Victoria Roberts


Rachel Victoria Roberts is an English actress, best known for her role as Justine Dean in the Children's BBC school drama, Grange Hill.[1] She appeared in the programme from 1988 to 1994.

Justine Dean was one of Grange Hill's most popular characters in the early 1990s, and, of the 1988 intake of new first year pupils, was the only one to make it to the Upper Sixth form. At the same time, Justine became only the third pupil in the show's history to complete the full seven years of secondary schooling.

Roberts also appeared alongside David Jason in the first episode of the detective series, A Touch of Frost, and has made five appearances in the police procedural, The Bill. She appeared alongside George Cole in the ITV Series An Independent Man where she played a hairdresser. She starred in a Ford Fiesta commercial in which she portrayed a secretary who drives to Paris to deliver a set of slides to her employer, and played numerous parts in Agony; a Grange Hill-themed agony slot which aired on the now defunct L!VE TV.
