From 2013 until 2015, Healey appeared in TV commercials shown in the United States and Canada, for Cottonelle toilet paper, in which she approached random people and asked them to use Cottonelle and "go commando" – meaning without underwear – to demonstrate how effectively Cottonelle cleaned them.[4]

In Summer 2010, Healey married her long-term partner Roly Allen. The couple have a daughter, born 2009,[6][7] and a son, born 2013. Healey and Allen later separated and divorced.[8]
