Her father was a builder and her mother a housewife.
Gibson was raised in Mold, North Wales. She did consider herself an "arty" child but did join the local youth theatre in Theatr Clwyd. She studied performing arts at Salford University where she met fellow students Peter Kay and Steve Edge.
Before her role in Peter Kay"s Carolina Share, she had not auditioned for any acting roles for over a year and was working in a call centre in Chester.
The success of the series brought Gibson to wider prominence and has opened the door for other roles. She will also return in a second series of Carolina Share to be recorded in 2016.
