When we first met Lizzie Stark, played by Natasha O'Keeffe, she was a prostitute engaged to John Shelby. Though the marriage was eventually called off, she continued to work for Tommy until he eventually offered her a job as his secretary, where she quickly found herself caught up in one of the Peaky Blinders' master plans, which saw her raped despite Tommy promising to protect her. As the series developed, so too did Lizzie's involvement with the Shelby family and Tommy, and she became pregnant with his child at the end of season four. The couple married and welcomed their daughter, Ruby, and though their relationship was pretty tense in season 5, Tommy and Lizzie always seem to find their way back to each other.
Born in Brighton, Natasha O'Keeffe is most recognisable as Abbey Smith from the fantasy drama Misfits. Prior to landing her role in Peaky Blinders, she also starred in the film Filth, and TV series The Last Panthers and Resistance, among others.
