Susan Elizabeth Perkins is a British actress, writer, comedian, and broadcaster, best known as one half of the comedy duo Mel and Sue. She resides in London with her two dogs.
Perkins has spoken publicly about her sexuality, stating that she came out to her family approximately 15 years ago. When asked whether her experience inspired her to write a sitcom about a girl coming out to her parents, she clarified that while the show draws on similar themes, it is not a direct reflection of her own coming out story. She recalled calling her mother and asking to visit the next day. Her mother, suspecting the reason behind the visit, sarcastically asked if it was about her being gay. Perkins responded, “It might be,” after which the call abruptly ended.
Among her known relationships, Perkins had a five-year relationship with writer Emma Kennedy and a four-year relationship with Kate Williams, which ended in 2012. She lived with Kate in an 18th-century cottage during their time together. Speaking about the relationship, she called it “one of the biggest blessings” in her life and described Kate as an excellent cook with “tea that tastes like Christmas.”
Her relationship with comedian Rhona Cameron also drew public attention, particularly after Cameron spoke about it on the television show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. Although some were surprised when Cameron disclosed Perkins’s sexuality, Perkins later commented that the situation caused no harm, as she had already come out to those close to her. However, she expressed mild regret that some personal details she intended to keep private were shared.
