Lindsay's first television appearance was aged 7 when her school choir, the St Winifred's School Choir, released "There's No One Quite Like Grandma", which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in 1980.[1] The song knocked John Lennon off the top spot. In the aftermath of Lennon's death, his songs were re-released, these included "Imagine", which knocked St Winifred's off the top spot.

Before becoming an actress, Lindsay studied English at the University of Hull and had aspirations of becoming a journalist. However, she was cast in a play and enjoyed the experience, and then studied at North Cheshire Theatre School before dabbling with stand up comedy. When she was 24, she met and became friends with comedian Peter Kay. Subsequently, Lindsay and Kay appeared together in Phoenix Nights and the video for the Comic Relief single, "Is This the Way to Amarillo" In 2000 she appeared in an episode of The Royle Family, playing Twiggy's girlfriend, Michelle. Lindsay has frequently referred to this since in interviews as a role she is particularly proud of.

Lindsay subsequently announced that she would leave the role in 2006 after playing Shelley for five years.
