Biography
T4 presenter and glam-grunge fashion babe Jameela was born in London. She was hit by a car when she was 17 and damaged her spine so severely that she had to convalesce in bed for a year. After graduating, Jameela worked in London as a model and model scout while teaching English as a foreign language.
In 2008 she applied for a job at Channel 4 and after screen tests was picked to present the Music Zone on E4. She’s been presenting T4 since 2009 and replaced Alexa Chung on the weekday morning music show Freshly Squeezed that same year.
A trend-setting fashionista, you’ll often find Jameela plastered across fashion mags. She’s modelled for Vogue, been photographed by David Bailey and hosted her own weekly online fashion advice show called The Closet in 2009. Jameela’s also been trying out for Radio 1 and the word on the street is she could land her own Radio 1 show very soon.
