In 2016, the pair competed at the European Junior Championships in Rijeka, finishing 10th in the Duet, while Thorpe also helped the British squad to top 10 finishes in the Team and Free Combination events.

She also made her senior international debut in 2016, competing with the British team at the French Open in Paris, then the European Championships in London.

In 2017, Thorpe competed at her maiden World Championship, impressing to finish 16th alongside Kate Shortman in the Free Duet.
