Nell McAndrew

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nell McAndrew (born as Tracey McAndrew on November 6, 1973, in Leeds) is an English glamour model.

She started her career as a Page Three girl at the Daily Star, before becoming the official Lara Croft model for the computer game Tomb Raider. Nell was also recognised as a Forces Sweetheart. In 1999 she posed nude in Playboy magazine (getting herself instantly fired from her Tomb Raider job).

She has continued to model since, and has also had a mildly successful television career, as a presenter on It's a Knockout and The Big Breakfast; she has also been a contestant on the TV reality show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!.

Nell is a fitness fanatic, and ran the London Marathon in 2003 in a great time (3 hours 22 minutes) in order to lose some pounds.

In September 2004, she announced her engagement to long-term partner Paul Hardcastle (not the musician). They are now married. (A spoof BBC documentary started a rumour that she was married to Dale Winton.)

She was awarded Rear of the Year in 2005. Following the Great North Run in 2005, she announced that she was pregnant. In late September 2005, however, she had to terminate the pregnancy because the foetus developed amniotic band syndrome and had little chance of survival. She became pregnant again soon afterwards, and gave birth to a boy named Devon in August, 2006.
