SUNNY ORMONDE 
Sunny has been playing the outrageous Lilian Bellamy in Radio 4’s The Archers for the past 24 years and has become one of the listeners favourite characters! Her antics have kept the nation gripped and entertained: riding round Ambridge on a Harley Davidson; drinking the Bull and Cider Shed dry with Eddie Grundy; absconding to Costa Rica with her beloved Tiger, and recklessly kicking off her sling-backs and leaping into bed with Tiger’s brother Paul - oh, the repercussions - not to mention the knitting, collagen and furlong frolics with Justin Elliot! She has also appeared regularly with fellow Archers cast members in many theatre entertainments: Larkin About (Edinburgh Festival), The Land of Lost Content (Cheltenham Literature Festival), Come Rain, Come Shine (Swan Hellenic) and Wicked Women (Ripon International Festival), the latter performed with her dear friend Sara Coward who played Caroline Sterling in The Archers for 32 years.​

Sunny is a seasoned theatre performer, having appeared in everything from Pantomime to Shakespeare. One of her favourite roles is Shirley Valentine which she has played in three different productions in Salisbury, Chester and Harrogate. She has created two one-woman shows, An Evening with Sunny Ormonde and Dorothy: The Airings of an Archers Actors Aunt, both of which have toured extensively to  literary festivals from Mull to Maidenhead. Sunny adores the spoken word and has recorded over 400 short stories and plays for BBC Radio, including The Old Curiosity Shop with Tom Courtenay and The Sea with David Tennant. Her wide-ranging TV credits include Doctors, Casualty, Brookside, Grange Hill,  Waiting For God, The Life of Shakespeare and, for Sky Television, Stardust Lil in the si-fi series Jupiter Moon. Sunny also has a very successful podcast, One Stiletto in the Grave, which she hosts with her friend, the writer Jane James.
