Jennifer Ellison (born May 30, 1983) is an English glamour model, who has also been an actress, a singer and a dancer. Ellison, who was born in Liverpool, is perhaps best known for playing Emily Shadwick in the television soap opera Brookside until 2003, though since then her regular photoshoots in men's magazines have kept her in the public eye.
Career
Acting
Ellison's acting career started in 1998 with her role as Emily Shadwick O'Leary on the British soap opera, Brookside. Her stay in Brookside ended in 2003. The same year Ellison ventured into film, where she played Meg Giry, Christine Daae's friend and Madame Giry's daughter, in Joel Schumacher's adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera. Ellison has also recently appeared in an episode of the ITV legal drama The Brief. In 2007 she will appear in episodes of the British television shows New street law and Hotel Babylon.
It was announced in 2005, that Ellison was to act in the lead role in the horror film "The Cottage", Ellison was also cast as Cleopatra in a contemporary film version of the Caeser and Cleopatra story.
Modelling and magazine appearances
Ellison is currently featured in Maxim magazine's Girls of Maxim gallery. She has appeared regularly in almost all of the mainstream British "lads' magazines" over the last five years, though her first appearance was in 1999 in a sexually suggestive shoot for FHM at the age of only 16, under the heading "Jailbait". Recently, Ellison took over a contract with lingerie giant Ultimo for its "Young Attitude" line from fellow model Jordan barely two months after she had been signed on. Though Ultimo boss Michelle More had chosen Jordan for being "sexy, fun and outgoing," she later changed her mind, stating, "Jordan was just the wrong choice for [us]. Jennifer is a far better option and far classier." In 2005 Ellison was voted "world's sexiest blonde" by readers of the UK magazine, Nuts, beating model Victoria Silvstedt, who came second, and pop superstar Britney Spears, who was voted third. Ellison is also a regular in the yearly FHM "100 Sexiest Women in the World" feature. She first appeared in 2003 at number 50, then at number 40 in 2004, and by 2005 she was at number 23. In FHM's current 2006 poll, Ellison is listed at number 31.
Dance
Since the age of three years old, Ellison has trained as a dancer. Her achievements in the field included world titles as well as winning the National Ballet and Modern Dance Championships two years running in 1996 and 1997. She also trained with the Royal Ballet School until she was sixteen.
Theatre
Ellison had a run in the London West End theatre version of the musical Chicago, and returned from 10 July to 9 August, 2006 playing the leading role of Roxie Hart. Ellison was actually supposed to finish on 12 August, but was forced to pull out three days early due to a knee injury. Ellison will be touring the UK in Chicago from 25 September, 2006 until 5 May, 2007, appearing in Birmingham, Manchester, Sunderland, Nottingham, Southampton, Stoke-on-Trent and Liverpool
She will also soon appear in the west end play Marlon Brando's corset.
Music
Ellison has also flirted with a pop rock1 career. Her first hit single was Baby I Don't Care, released in June 2003, which reached number six in the charts. The song was originally released by Transvision Vamp in 1989. The following year in July, after being brought back into the public eye after winning Hell's Kitchen, Ellison released her second single, Bye Bye Boy, which reached number 13 in the UK charts.
Reality television
In 2004 Ellison appeared on the reality television show Hell's Kitchen, which she went on to win. In spring 2007 she will appear in the BBC reality TV show 'The Verdict', based on a fictional courtroom, alongside the likes of Jeffery Archer and Sara Payne.
Trivia
*Ellison is a fan of Everton Football Club, although she was once the girlfriend of Liverpool player Steven Gerrard.
*The question of whether or not her breasts (size 32DD) are real or as a result of plastic surgery is often the subject of much press speculation. Ellison herself strenuously denies that she ever got implants, giving as evidence the facts that since she grew up on camera (having been a member of the cast of Brookside since she was a pre-teen), and that any sudden increase (as would have been the result of surgery) could easily be detected. In addition, she was formerly a dancer, and when she stopped dancing she subsequently put weight on all over her body, resulting in her now-curvy figure.
*In 2005 she appeared in the celebrity challenge show With a little help from my friends and guest presented the children's programme Ministry of mayhem.
*Welsh singer Charlotte Church recently rubbished the idea that Jennifer Ellison is "curvy". She said: "Jennifer Ellison is like a size f***ing six - she's not curvy... curvy's when you've got a bit of weight all over, instead of having heavy tits."
*Released her own fitness DVD Jennifer Ellison's West end workout in December 2006.
