I met a celeb today ... but who?

I met a celeb on the train today, the worst part is, I'm not sure who it was! It was all a bit stressful, I have a broken leg, my DP had been awake for around 27 hours and my kid was carrying some heavy bags.
She was so lovely, offered us a drink and some food and we had a chat through the seats.
She was about 40/45ish, with a very broad northern accent, asian heritage (I think)
If I heard her voice I'd recognise her instantly.
Who was my lovely celeb train neighbour?

None of those, had it been Anita Rani I would have got her number, I bloody love her!

I'm thinking of the doctor that was in casualty? No idea what she's called though

No, wasn't either of them either.

The doctor in casualty was Sunetra Sarker. She was FAB in the fantastic No Angels. Such a great actress. My friend worked with her years ago and said she was lovely

I'm sure it wasn't Meera Syal, it was a definite Mcr/lancashire accent.

Saira Choudhry (although she's far too young for your estimate)

I like Mina Anwar. God how long ago was The Thin blue line!

For anyone who needed to know, Mina Anwar is lovely and very kind.
