Jennifer Ellison (born May 30, 1983 in Liverpool, England) is best
known for playing Emily Shadwick in the television soap opera
Brookside until 2003 when she became a pop singer. Her cleavage (32DD)
is often the subject of much speculation - Jennifer herself denies
implants, but the press and her fans are not convinced. Her first hit
was Baby I Don't Care, released in June 2003. The song was originally
released by Transvision Vamp in 1989.
In 2004 she appeared on the reality television show Hell's Kitchen
which she went on to win. This brought her back into the public eye
and in July 2004 she released a new single, Bye Bye Boy, which reached
the top 20 of the UK charts.
She has many cousins living in Ireland under the name of 'Ellison'
such as Phil Ellison and Robert Ellison. In 2004 she also played Meg,
Christine's friend, in The Phantom of the Opera.
On May 26, 2005 it was reported that she was in talks with the BBC to
replace Billie Piper as the companion to the Tenth Doctor in the 2006
series of Doctor Who, though it was later reported that Billie Piper
would be keeping her role for the entire 2006 series. Also in 2005 she
was voted "world's sexiest blonde" by readers of the U.K Nuts
magazine, beating model Victoria Silvstedt, who came second and pop
superstar Britney Spears who was voted third.
She recently appeared in an episode of the ITV legal drama 'The
Brief', and currently has several film projects on the go.
Ellison recently took over Katie Price's (aka Jordan), contract with
Lingerie giant Ultimo for its 'Young Attitude' line barely two months
after signing Jordan on. Though Ultimo boss Michelle More had earlier
chosen Jordan for being "sexy, fun and outgoing," she later changed
is a far better option and far classier."
Ellison is well known for her looks, and is a fan of Everton Football
Club.
