She also appeared in many theatre productions, playing everything from Principal Boy in pantomime, to Lady Macbeth.

Following a final series with Milligan, There's a Lot of It About in 1982, Breck decided to retire from show business to concentrate on raising her three children whilst pursuing art and model-making as a hobby. She currently lives in France with her husband, Sandy Breck-Paterson, a well-known internet crossword compiler, known as "Arena".
