Jayne Middlemiss (* 3rd February 1971 in Northumberland, England) is a popular television and radio presenter and model.

Jayne Middlemiss grew up in the town of Bedlington in Northumberland, England. She attended Meadowdale Middle School and later Bedlingtonshire Commmunity High School.

In 1991, Middlemiss started out as a glamour model, within a year, she left that behind to pursue a career in the media.


She first worked as a researcher on GMTV, and then by presenting music programmes, such as The O-Zone, the Smash Hits Awards, The phone zone and Top of the Pops and its spin-off radio show on BBC Radio One. She also regularly covered Jo Whiley's show and various other programmes on the same station.

After hosting live coverage of Glastonbury Festival and the Edinburgh Festival, Middlemiss presented Rough Cut and Dog’s Balearics. She was one of the original presenters on the new digital station BBC 6 Music in 2002, presenting the Music Week, where she remained until she left in April 2004.

Middlemiss began to move into more mainstream programming with three series of the fashion show She's Gotta Have It. She went on to present some of the BBC's Holiday programmes, to destinations across the globe before co-hosting the LA Pool Party series with Lisa Snowdon, which won a TRIC Award.

In 2004, for Five TV, Middlemiss presented the dating show What Women Want, before co-presenting the seventh series of Robot Wars, alongside Craig Charles and The Games with Jamie Theakston.

In 2005 she appeared on ITV's Celebrity Love Island and became emotionally involved with footballer Lee Sharpe. The pair did not become a couple, however, despite the producers of the show sending them on a trip in a 'make or break' boat. She eventually went on to win the show, alongside Fran Cosgrave. In 2006 she returned to Fiji to host Love Island's sister show Aftersun on ITV2.

In 2006, Middlemiss presented Family Forensics UK, a Twofour production for Living. The show sees a team of forensic investigators rifling through ordinary homes to uncover the psychological make-up of family members.
