Sexy Abigail Titmuss (born 8 September 1976) is a British TV presenter
and model.
She was born in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, where she went to school. She
lived in the village of Ruskington. Before becoming famous, she worked
as a nurse.
She first became known to the public when her then-boyfriend, TV
presenter John Leslie, was accused of raping another woman (the
charges were subsequently dropped). Her tabloid-friendly looks and
ease in front of the camera earned her a presenting job on Richard &
Judy. She lost that job when a home sex video of Leslie, Titmuss and
another woman found its way onto the Internet. She took up presenting
on pornographic channel Television X.
Her other television work includes training as a chef on the 2004
series of Hell's Kitchen, and in 2005, she appeared on Channel 4's The
Friday Night Project as a regular guest feature, and later she took
series, Titmuss helped herself to numerous courses of dinners and
dessets and put on a stone in weight. As a result, the press jokingly
dubbed her Flabby Abi, referring to the double chin she had developed.
Outside of television, she has also modelled in many UK lad's mags,
such as FHM (she was voted #7 in FHM Sexiest 100 Women 2005), and
regularly appears on the cover of Nuts. She also receives coverage in
tabloid and occasionally broadsheet newspapers, and often stages
paparazzi photographs, for which she is paid royalties if the pictures
are printed.
She is frequently mentioned on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show hosted by
Chris Moyles, typically as an object of sexual fantasy.
In a poll conducted for the 2005 Channel 4 progam The Death of
Celebrity, Abi was voted the fourth most pointless celebrity in the
country.
