Debbie is a BAFTA and EMMY award winning writer and director of film, television and theatre. Her hit feature film CONFETTI starring a host of British comedy talent was distributed for the world by Fox Searchlight and nominated for a British Comedy Award in 2006.

In recent years Debbie has created a hugely successful UK film franchise by writing and directing (in her inimitable improvisational process) a series of blockbuster Christmas films NATIVITY! Starring Martin Freeman, Nativity 2 “Danger in the Manger” starring David Tennant, Nativity 3 “Dude Where’s My Donkey?” starring Martin Clunes and Catherine Tate, and Nativity Rocks! starring Celia Imrie and Craig Revel Horwood which have all been major box office hits in the UK.

Debbie co-wrote all of the original songs in the Nativity movies with Nicky Ager and her smash hit stage musical adaptation Nativity! The Musical is heading into its fifth sensational year. Debbie’s latest film Christmas On Mistletoe Farm premiered at Christmas 2022 with an exclusive global release on Netflix.

In 2023 Debbie wrote and directed a major new stage musical I Should Be So Lucky featuring Kylie Minogue, based on the songs of hit factory composers Stock, Aitken and Waterman which embarked on an extensive UK and Ireland Tour in 2024.
