Magowan also starred as Martha Bannerman in four episodes of A Dinner of Herbs, an adaptation of the Catherine Cookson novel made for British television in 2000; and she appeared on series 15 (2012) of Silent Witness in the two-part story 'Domestic', as murder victim Justine Thompson.
She had a featured role on EastEnders as beauty shop owner Sadie Young, appearing in 41 episodes of the long-running BBC soap opera from 2013 to 2014. She also starred as Sonny Clay, a main character on Spotless, in 2015.
