Jamie Yeo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jamie Yeo (Chinese: 杨薏琳) is a TV host, actress, radio deejay and model, known for co-hosting the ESPN/Star Sports Nokia Football Crazy television show in Asia[1] and portraying Tammy in the TV show Growing Up[2], arguably the one that made her famous[3].

Yeo was born in Singapore on April 17, 1977, studied in Fairfield Methodist Primary School and then Nanyang Girls High School for a few months before moving to Dayton, Ohio, for four years, where her father was posted as an engineer in the Republic of Singapore Air Force, attending Dayton Christian High School and graduating with 'a near 4.0 GPA'. On returning to Singapore she entered Ngee Ann Polytechnic and studied mass communications, graduating in 1998. She is currently married to radio DJ Glenn Ong and attends New Creation Church[4].

From 2000 to 2006, she was a full-time DJ at MediaCorp Radio's 987FM[5].

She is "between a B- and a C-cup" and denies having surgically-enhanced breasts[6].

As a football presenter, Yeo has been criticised as not being "given any roles that require deep insight or analysis". but just "to be eye-candy"[7].
