She had won two awards in the annual Scream Awards – and got her seen by TV director Fran Baker, one of the judges, who called her to audition for "Becky's Story".[2]
When she was nine years old, she played the part of Eva Lauren in rags-to-riches musical Her Benny at Liverpool Empire Theatre.

Beth also trains her singing with top vocal coach Zoë Tyler, piano with concert pianist Neil Oldham-Campbell and drama with Seren Mistery.[2]
