Action girl Charlotte Goddard is ready to fall down stairs, deal out karate chops and even be set on fire for top Hollywood stars.
The 26-year-old from Hullbridge Road, Rayleigh, is aiming to be a world-class stunt woman, taking dives for the glitzy and the glamorous.
Charlotte, who currently works on a building site, previously spent years working as a dancer on a cruise liner but this year will be going on a stunt course in Seattle in the United States.
The actors union Equity, has told Charlotte she has to train in six different sports to realise her dream but for such a sporty person, it is no sweat.
To become a top-of-the-range stunt woman, Charlotte is prepared for precision driving, fire burns, climbing, unarmed combat, horse work and stair falls - to name but a few.
A cut above the rest - Charlotte Goddard is ready to have her karate skills fully tested to become a top stunt woman
