Gabrielle Richens

Smart, funny and breathtakingly beautiful, Gabrielle Richens is a worldwide sensation as a television presenter, actress, celebrity and model.

Hailing from Kent, UK, Gabrielle launched into the media World at aged 15, when she pursued a modelling career with the renowned agency, Elite Models. It wasn't long before the sultry brunette started appearing in worldwide advertising campaigns for Diesel, Virgin Atlantic, Heineken and Pepsi (alongside Janet Jackson), and taking to the catwalk for many big-name fashion designers in London, Paris, Milan and New York.

However Gabrielle's life really changed after she left the UK and headed to Australia. Whilst down under, Gabrielle moved on from just being 'another model' by building a successful career as a television presenter on a variety of TV shows, including Channel Ten's Total Sport; Nine Network's The Footy Show and Love Rules. The English beauty quickly became a major celebrity and pin-up, appearing on the cover of many well-known magazines, and was voted 3rd SEXIEST WOMAN ON THE PLANET by the Aussie version top-selling men's magazine, FHM. Richens was also named as one of the '100 MOST SEXIEST WOMEN' three times in 2002, 2003 and 2004, in the UK edition of FHM.

Gabrielle returned to England in 2001 to present the action-packed Channel 5 TV game show, THE DESERT FORGES. She has continued to build a successful TV career in the UK presenting programmes such as: 3001: A SEX ODDITY on Bravo, a documentary series looking at sex in the future and ITV1's (UK) dating show DIAL A DATE.

Since returning back to Australia in October 2003, Gabrielle hasn't been off Aussie TV screens - with appearances on Mornings With Kerri-Anne, Burke's Backyard, An Audience With Dame Edna, The Footy Show and GMA and, more recently, as a celebrity contestant in the Channel 7 hit series, Dancing With The Stars (the Aussie version of Strictly Come Dancing).

In 2006, Gabrielle left the luxuries of the showbiz World to take part as a celebrity contestant in the massively popular reality TV show series, Celebrity Survivor. As well as continuing with her celebrity appearances, TV presenting and modelling work (she is currently the face of 'Gorgeous' - a best-selling lingerie line for women with curves at top UK store, Debenhams), Gabrielle has now moved into TV and film acting. Her TV acting credits include the international hit TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, plus the BAFTA nominated Paul Whitehouse BBC series, Happiness. Gabi's Hollywood film debut see her starring as one of the main roles in the black comedy horror, Hack, starring William Forsyth, Juliette Landau and Sean Kanan - (released late 2007).

A diversely talented star, it's no shock that Gabi has graced the front cover of over 30 magazines around the World, been voted the 6th 'Sexiest Woman In The World Today' by Britain's biggest-selling newspaper The News Of The World and voted the 7th 'Sexiest Woman in UK Advertising' for her appearance in the raunchy Virgin Atlantic Airway commercial. Gabrielle spends her time between Australia, UK and USA.
