Abi Titmuss

Biography:
Abigail Evelyn Titmuss, best known as Abi Titmuss, (born 8 February 1976 in Ruskington near Sleaford, Lincolnshire), is an English Television personality, glamour model and occasional actress. Titmuss was graduated from City University in St Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1998 and became a staff nurse at London’s University College Hospital.
Titmuss met TV presenter John Leslie at a party in 1998. The pair quickly formed a relationship, and Titmuss lived between her student nurse accommodation at the hospital and Leslie’s home in Barnes, Southwest London. In 2002 presenter Ulrika Jonsson released her autobiography, suggesting she had been raped earlier in her career by a now well know TV presenter. Weeks later the News of the World ran front page pictures of John Leslie snorting cocaine in a cafe. The following week, pictures appeared in the paper of Leslie, Titmuss and other women taking part in sex-sessions at Leslie’s home, including basketball player Jayson Blayde and his girlfriend. Titmuss fully engaged her new image, and undertook a series of interviews promoting her image as a real sex star and Britain’s Number 1 pinup. In her own words to the Sunday Mirror she said: “I’m not like those glamour girls who say: ‘I’m really dirty, I’m really bad’, then just pose around. I really am dirty and bad - I love sex”. She took up presenting on pornographic channel Television X, released a risquй fitness video, authored an erotic novel published by Black Lace, made personal appearances in Nightclubs all over the UK and Ireland, made millions by licensing every image of herself published to her own trademark and wrote a regular sex advice Column for FHM. Titmuss has modelled for many UK men’s magazines, such as FHM (whose readers voted her #7 in FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2005), Nuts, Zoo Weekly, Loaded, GQ and Maxim magazines and others such as The Sunday Times Style. She resultantly became the most photographed woman in Great Britain for 2004 and most of 2005; while her 2004 calendar was the biggest selling in the UK. She used her image and status to join ITV 1’s “Celebrity Love Island.” Her other television work includes training as a chef on the 2004 series of Hell’s Kitchen, and in 2005, she appeared on Channel 4’s The Friday Night Project as a regular guest feature, and in “Abi Titmuss: A modern day morality tale”, a fly on the wall documentary for Channel 4. In 2005, Titmuss appeared in a high fashion shoot in Pop magazine, which commented on her status as the Face of 21st century celebrity. In December 2004, Titmuss appeared on the front cover of FHM magazine with Victoria Silvstedt. After taking a break from modelling work, Titmuss has recently relaunched her glamour career as a brunette with an appearance on the cover of Zoo Weekly magazine and the sale of the official Abi Titmuss calendar 2007. She has recently been seen in Deadline with Janet Street Porter on ITV1 and ITV2 which followed a number of celebrities as they aimed to edit and produce a celebrity based magazine, published as a supplement with Closer magazine. After taking a short course at the Central School of Speech and Drama Titmuss made her West End acting debut in March 2006, playing a prostitute with a multiple personality disorder in Two way mirror by Arthur Miller at the Courtyard theatre. She gave weak performances in the preview stage which were released by the tabloid press, but despite her self confessed nervousness theatre critics actually praised her first foray into the world of acting, citing that she had great potential and was clearly a capable actress. In 2006, Titmuss filmed a small role in the major motion picture Goal! 2, she was unfortunately cut from the final edit of the picture released in 2007. In a touch of irony, Abi was due to have been the subject of a theatre production herself in a musical satire entitled Being Abi, performed by students in her home county of Lincolnshire. Devised by pupils at Boston College, Lincoln in May 2006, it was scheduled for a three-day run before it was cancelled after concerns by parents of two teenage performers in the show over some of its content.
