We are given an exclusive glimpse into the personal life of the talented actress Siobhan McSweeney. Most of us know her as the sharp-witted and stoic Sister Michael in the hit comedy series Derry Girls, which earned her a Bafta and a special place in the hearts of comedy fans everywhere. However, she has now taken on a new role in the highly anticipated Motherland spinoff, Amandaland, where she showcases her talents alongside the likes of Dame Joanna Lumley, Lucy Punch, and Philippa Dunne.
Despite her success on the small screen, the 45-year-old Irish actress is known for her privacy when it comes to her personal life. So, let's take a closer look at the woman behind the strict headmistress of Our Lady Immaculate College.
Born in County Cork, Siobhan moved to London in 2001 to attend drama school. She landed her first role as Julia in the film The Wind That Shakes the Barley in 2006 and has since appeared in other productions like Mr. Holmes, No Offence, and Alice Through the Looking Glass. However, it was her role as Sister Michael in Derry Girls that catapulted her to national fame and made her a household name. She became known for her quotable lines and her dynamic chemistry with her co-stars.
Aside from her work on Derry Girls, Siobhan has also made appearances in Porters and the short film The Widow. She has also become a familiar face on various TV shows, from The Great British Bake Off to The Great Pottery Throw Down. In 2025, she will host the Irish version of The Traitors on RTE One.
When it comes to her personal life, Siobhan prefers to keep things private. However, in 2023, it was rumored that she was dating British talent agent Kevin Joseph Brady. Although neither of them has confirmed the relationship, they have been seen together at events.
Siobhan has faced her share of tragedy and loss, having lost both of her parents. Her mother passed away when she was young, and her father died while she was filming season 2 of Derry Girls. She has spoken about the impact of their deaths on her life and how it sparked a burst of creativity and inspiration.
In 2019, Siobhan's flat caught fire and she was left homeless. Thankfully, she was not at home at the time of the incident. Her character in Amandaland, Della Fry, is the head chef at Shin, a restaurant that catches the eye of Amanda. It seems that Della doesn't have the best impression of Amanda, hinting at potential drama and tension in the series.
As we eagerly await the release of Amandaland, we can continue to enjoy Siobhan's talents on our screens and appreciate her dedication to her craft. Whether she's playing the beloved Sister Michael or a new character like Della Fry, Siobhan McSweeney never fails to entertain and captivate her audience.
