Watling was born at Fulmer, Buckinghamshire, the daughter of actors Jack Watling and Patricia Hicks. Her sister Dilys and her brother Giles are also actors.

Watling played Victoria in Doctor Who from 1967 to 1968, though owing to the BBC's wiping policy of the time, The Tomb of the Cybermen (1967) is the only serial she appeared in to still exist in its entirety. She also appeared in Dimensions in Time (1993) and Downtime (1995). She co-starred with Cliff Richard in the 1970s film Take Me High.
