Angela Wynter was born in Kingston, Jamaica but immigrated to Peckham, London in 1965. Intent on becoming an actress, she decided that drama school was not for her, and instead she became heavily involved in theatrical companies which championed the works of people of colour. Wynter made her stage debut in 1982, the same year that her first movie, Burning An Illusion, was released. Television parts quickly followed, such as a recurring role in the sitcom No Problem! and guest appearances in Minder and Mitch. Wynter also established a singing career, initially as an original member of View From The Hill in 1985, and subsequently with Abacush. Meanwhile, she continued to amass television credits throughout the Nineties, amongst them The Bill, What You Lookin' At?, Murder Most Horrid and Cracker.

In 2003, Wynter joined the cast of EastEnders, and wound up staying for five years. Subsequent television work included episodes of Holby City, Casualty, Death In Paradise and Vera, plus recurring appearances in The Tunnel and Cleaning Up. During the Twenties, Wynter had a run in Doctors -- a programme for which she had previously appeared in several different roles -- as well as multiple installments of shows like Vampire Academy and Call The Midwife. In 2023, she returned to EastEnders on an ongoing basis. The same year, Wynter made her Doctor Who debut as Cherry Sunday, grandmother to the Fifteenth Doctor's companion Ruby, in The Church On Ruby Road; she also narrated the audiobook version of its novelisation.
