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."

blonde" by readers of the UK magazine, Nuts,

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 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
fucking 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.
