Jamie Yeo (Chinese: 杨薏琳; born 17 April 1977) is a TV host, actress, radio DJ and model.[1][citation needed]

Early life[]

Yeo was born in Singapore[citation needed] on 17 April 1977. She studied at Fairfield Methodist Primary School and Nanyang Girls' High School before moving to Dayton, Ohio[citation needed], for four years, where her father was posted as an engineer in the Republic of Singapore Air Force. She completed her secondary education at Dayton Christian High School[citation needed]. After returning to Singapore, she entered Ngee Ann Polytechnic[citation needed] and studied mass communications, because her certificate from America was not recognized in Singapore so she could not take her A levels at a junior college. She eventually graduated from Ngee in 1998.[2]

Professional career[]

Yeo began as an actress portraying Tammy in the TV show Growing Up,[3] arguably the role that made her famous.[4] She has also acted in MediaCorp Ch8 Mandarin-language productions Holland V and Baby Boom in 2003.[5][6]

Yeo left acting to pursue a radio career. From 2000-06, she was a full-time DJ at MediaCorp Radio's 987FM.[4][citation needed]

In 2005, Jamie joined ESPN and became the face of shows like "Nokia Football Crazy" and "Football Extra." In 2009, "Football Crazy" was renamed "Castrol Football Crazy" due to a change in sponsorship and it went off air in 2010.

In an interview with TheSportsCampus.com in 2009, Jamie said her favorite football club is Arsenal F.C. and her favourite player Thierry Henry.[7]

She is known for co-hosting the ESPN/Star Sports "Castrol Football Crazy" and "Maxis Football Extra" television shows in Asia.[8]

In 2012, Yeo went back to radio with SAFRA Radio on the Singapore station Power98FM.[citation needed]

In 2015, Jamie returned to Mediacorp as radio DJ for Gold 905FM. In March 2016, she took over the drive-time show "The Homestretch".[9][citation needed]

Yeo is also the host of the travel and lifestyle program "Inside Singapore" on Insider TV.[9]

Personal life[]

Yeo began dating DJ Glenn Ong in 2001 and the couple married in New Creation Church three years later in 2004, but separated in early 2009.[10]

In 2010, Yeo married Thorsten Nolte, a British immigrant in Singapore; the couple had a daughter.[11][12] They divorced in February 2015. In April 2016, she gained sole custody of her daughter Alysia.[13]

In June 2017, she announced to the media that she was getting married for the third time to another British immigrant, Rupert, and was five months pregnant with a baby boy.[14] Their son Luke was born on 29 August 2017.[15]
