Who? Jennifer Ellison

AKA: Big-breasted blonde bombshell, the Scouse-est looking woman in the world

Years racked up: Just 21

Known for?: Being a Brookie stalwart until getting killed off, embarking on a naff pop career and surprisingly winning over tough taskmaster Gordon Ramsay to triumph in Hell's Kitchen this year.
