After two years, she left to try to make a living as an actress.While speaking to The Mirror in March 2022, Andoh said she was brought up on a Midlands farm, and she felt ostracized being the "only black girl for miles around."“I sometimes felt as though I wasn’t seen for myself, although that also meant I was more resilient. To be mixed race with a strong Leeds accent meant I was already a different order of gravy."She added:“There were levels of familiarity, and people getting to know us. Having a strong Yorkshire accent was as much a part of that as my race. Some people were like, ‘We can’t have that coloured girl in here – what would the neighbours think!"
