Condron grew up in Salford in the 1980s and decided she wanted to act from age twelve. She began taking acting lessons and the following year she secured the role of Geri in the ITV show Children's Ward.[1]

In 1999, Condron secured the regular role of Zara Morgan, in the British soap opera Hollyoaks.[2] In July 2005, it was reported that producers would not be renewing the contracts of several cast members, including Condron.[3] She soon filmed her final scenes with the show.[4]

In 2007, Condron was approached by the production company Endemol to provide voice overs for one of their relative television shows. The experience lead Condron to take up voice over work as her new career.[1]

She has also had roles in the television series My Wonderful Life, Casualty and Heartbeat.[5] In 2021, Condron rejoined the cast of Hollyoaks as Zara on a regular basis.[6]

In June 2023, Condron left Hollyaks again in a storyline which saw Zara go to Borneo to follow her dreams of working in a nature sanctuary.
