Biography
Cave was born 5 May 1987 in London, the second eldest of four siblings. Her father works as a general practitioner. Her grandfather was Chief Secretary of Hong Kong, Tasmanian-born Sir Charles Philip Haddon-Cave. Her younger sister Bebe is also an actor.
Cave attended Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith for sixth form. A former county-level swimmer and ex-national tennis player, she studied illustration and animation at Kingston University. Her tennis career was cut short by injury when she was 15. She had originally intended to study stage management at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and worked in London as a stagehand, before deciding to pursue acting.
In December 2014, Cave and her boyfriend, Alfie Brown, son of Steve Brown and Jan Ravens, saw the birth of their son, Donnie. The couple's relationship inspired Cave's 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe comedy hit I Loved Her.
