Aleesha Beyoncé Miller was born on the show on 29 October 2004, and was played by twins Freya and Phoebe Coltman-West. Aleesha is the daughter of Demi Miller and Leo Taylor. Born in 2004 to 13 year old Demi Miller, Aleesha didn't have the easiest start in life being (along with her parents) the centre of an ongoing feud between her maternal and paternal grandparents. Aleesha's godparents are her uncle Mickey Miller and (until her death in December 2006) neighbour Pauline Fowler, whose heart softened towards the Millers since she accompanied Demi to hospital for Aleesha's birth.
