Born in 1968, in Ware, England, Kacey Ainsworth's first onscreen appearance was in a supporting role on "Peak Practice" (ITV, 1993-2002) in 1995. She also played a small role in the internationally lauded Mike Leigh film "Topsy Turvy" (1999).

The next year, she was a series regular on "Holby Blue" (BBC One, 2007-2008), playing one of the Inspectors on the police procedural spin-off from the popular medical drama "Holby City" (BBC One, 1999-). After that show ended in 2008, Ainsworth continued to work on screen, playing supporting roles in shows like "Rock & Chips" (BBC One, 2010-2011) and "Midsomer Murders" (ITV, 1997-) and a regular supporting role in the short lived "The Wright Way" (BBC One, 2013). In 2014, she premiered as the wife of Detective Inspector Keating on the popular 1950s-set mystery show "Grantchester" (ITV, 2014-), and, in 2017, played Miss Gullet in "The Worst Witch" (CBBC, 2017-) an adaptation of a series of short novels for children.
