Why we love Belinda Stewart-Wilson

Belinda Stewart-Wilson is probably a name you don’t know. Her best-known character’s name - Polly McKenzie – is still maybe a name you don’t know. You’ll know her (personally) as Will’s mum. Yup, his mum is the reason that you wish you lived next to Will and had to hitch a ride to school every day. Alongside Neil’s sister, she makes family characters fully worthwhile, and gives Jay endless ammunition of ‘your mum’ lines.
Belinda herself was not someone you’d have seen often at school – her dad was in the army and her family often moved to different military posts. Still, things were soon normal for the Londoner, as the family moved back to the capital when her dad became an Equerry to the Queen. What’s an Equerry? Well, Wikipedia pretty much says they are an attendant, but what they actually do we have no idea. Still, there’s a long list of previous equerries on Wiki too, including Belinda’s dad, so he was important. She even met the Queen a bunch of times, which gives her a touch of class added to her hotness.
Before she became the figure of every Inbetweener’s imagination (except Will), Belinda was forging her way in the likes of Holby City, and has recently been appearing in the ITV sci-fi show Primeval. She says comedy is more her thing though, and has also appeared in the likes of Broken News and The IT Crowd. Hot and funny, the perfect mum. As long as she’s not your mum.
