She attended Siddal Moor Sports College and the Carol Godby Theatre Workshop, and whilst attending the latter, she produced and sold her own CD online to raise money for a children's hospice.

She leaves in January 2023 after the character's father is arrested and her subsequent break up with Max. Fitton reprised the role five months later on a permanent basis. She told of how being in Coronation Street was her "childhood dream" and that she was "surprised to be asked back" (to the soap) following her initial exit.
