Jenni Falconer, born in Glasgow, is a Scottish television presenter.
After her family relocated to the South of England aged 7, Falconer moved to Leeds in 1994 to attend university, majoring in Spanish and Italian, with minors in Latin, Geography and Management Studies. However, she dropped out after a couple of years.
Falconer made her television debut in 1994 as a contestant on Blind Date, and later presented BBC Scotland's Big Country and ITV's We Can Work It Out. She was the main co-host of Entertainment Today from its launch on in 2000 until its end in July 2008 on GMTV.
Her other work includes reporting on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in Australia for GMTV in November 2005, becoming the host of the National Lottery Draws in September 2006 and hosting Cirque de Celebrité in October 2007. She has also actively participated in reality shows, winning BBC One's Only Fools on Horses in 2006. In the summer of 2007 Falconer starred as the 'hidden' celebrity in an episode of the CBBC gameshow Hider in the House. She was a contestant on All-Star Family Fortunes in December 2007. Falconer has also branched out into acting, having a role in Ecstasy, a film adaptation based on the #1 bestselling book Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance by Irvine Welsh.
She won the Sport Relief showjumping competition Only Fools on Horses riding an 8 year old 16 hands mare called J-Lo. Falconer has also posed for photographs in FHM dressed in a black brassiere and panties.
Jenni is currently one of the hosts of the popular daytime quiz show Wordplay (2009 Gameshow) on Five.
Falconer lives in London with her boyfriend James Midgley, an actor best known for his role in Cutting It, who now runs his own post production facility.
A Rangers fan, Falconer has described herself as obsessed by handbags and shoes, and has a collection of bags, both affordable high-street and designer. The designer bags are by Marc Jacobs, Mulberry, Chloe, Bracher Emden, Vivienne Westwood, Prada and Gucci - as well as a few vintage bags. She admitted in July 2007 that the most she had ever spent on a bag was £595 on a Mulberry bag, but that her boyfriend had bought her most expensive ones. When asked "How much is too much?" he said that she thought that too much was when you can't pay your bills. "It's one thing to have a great handbag, it's another to be able to buy food."
