Most of you will recognise Jenni as the stern but highly entertaining Relationship Expert from CH4’s Perfect Match. The first series won the prestigious Silver Rose at Montreux award while the second series garnered much publicity and her Asian episode was voted one of the 100 Top Telly Moments for that year.

She recently appeared on CH4’s Big Brother’s Little Brother as a social commentator, and Sky’s current success When Celebrities Attract. She also presented Dinner Doctors on CH5 with Annekka Rice within the last few months. In 2003 she has also appeared in CH4’s Diet Another Day and co-presented Get A Life on BBC1’s Heaven and Earth with Barefoot Doctor. Jenni did Toddler Taming (with GMTV’s Fiona Phillips) on Discovery and a Battle of the Brides every morning for one week on ITV’s This Morning and ITV’s First Wives Club. She appears regularly on GMTV, GMTV LK-Today, This Morning, RISE and CH4’s Richard and Judy speaking on relationship, family, career and political issues. Jenni was one of the regular presenters for two series of Live Talk/Loose Women on ITV, and Girl’s Talk Granada’s health-oriented version of the programme.

Her career began, and still continues, in radio. She has been a regular panellist on Radio Five Live’s Late Night Live for several years. She has appeared on Woman’s Hour and several political/social discussion programmes on Radio 4 and on BBC stations throughout Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. She also reviews television programmes on The Simon Mayo Show and occasionally with Brian Hayes on his new LBC programme.

Jenni does after-dinner speaking, corporates and voiceovers (CD demo available upon request). She was the official spokesperson for National Kissing Day and has recently completed researching and writing campaigns for Learn Direct, Nescafé Gold Blend, Buena Vista, Ariel washing powder and Rivercrest Wines and has just signed a major deal with Harper-Collins for her first book.

After 3½ years as the agony aunt for handbag.com, Jenni started her own website TeaAndABiscuit.com. She was listed in the Mail On Sunday’s YOU magazine as ‘one of the leading women on the internet’. TeaAndABiscuit provides advice, one-to-one counselling and life-coaching; it is also the banner under which she delivers successful seminars on self-improvement, self-confidence, dating and time management.

Her quick wit, sense of humour and warmth make her very popular while producers and fellow presenters praise her speed, efficiency and unflappable nature.
