Chong was born in Enfield, the daughter of a Chinese father and an English mother. She was first raised with her five siblings in Broxbourne. Later, after her parents separated, her mother moved her and her siblings to Longridge, her mother's hometown. Chong started dancing at the age of four and attended the Sutcliffe School of Dance in Longridge. At 14, she studied at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London. After graduating in 2003, she earned a role in Elton John's musical Aida, performed at the Colosseum Theatre in Essen. An injury cut short her career in musical theatre, so she turned to acting, training at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City for 18 months. When Chong returned to London, she initially had trouble finding work, acting only in a few small supporting roles and commercials. To support herself, she gave acting lessons at schools and held a part-ownership of her father's Chinese restaurant in Harpenden.
