Andrea Veronica Fonseka was born in Penang, Malaysia, August 29, 1984.
Andrea first came to the public's attention when she hosted the first season of Xfresh.tv, a teen program produced by Malaysia's Astro TVIQ.
In 2004, at 19 years old, Andrea followed her mother's footsteps and won the Miss Malaysia Universe title, and subsequently represented Malaysia in Miss Universe 2004 in Ecuador.
After the pageant, Andrea relocated to Singapore to study Law at the National University of Singapore. While in Singapore, Andrea was approached to appear on numerous magazine covers, including FHM Singapore and became a host on ESPN's Score Today.
Andrea was offered to become the new ambassador for Marie France Bodyline and in 2007 appeared as suitcase girl number 10 in Deal or No Deal (Singapore) on Mediacorp Channel 5.
Following the success of Deal or No Deal, Channel 5 invited Andrea to co-host the live TV singing contest Live The Dream with Utt and Michelle Chia.
Andrea was voted the world's sexiest woman in FHM Singapore’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World for 2007.
Andrea subsequently moved into acting, starring in small parts in Maggi & Me and Parental Guidance (TV series), and then landing major roles in Housemates, the channel 5 drama En Bloc (TV series) and the feature film Carrotcake Conversations.
