Jennifer Metcalfe

Jennifer Metcalfe (born on 16 September 1985 in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England) is an English actress and model. She joined the cast of soap opera "Hollyoaks" in early 2006, playing feisty Mercedes McQueen.

In 2007, she was nominated for 'Sexiest Female' at both the British Soap Awards and the Inside Soap Awards. She has also had many a short interview with teen-girl magazine Mizz, as well as a small spread in loveit! magazine. Before she joined Hollyoaks she was doing a degree in health and fitness. She says she likes playing Mercedes because "she's a bit feisty, loves dressing up and flirting and a lot of girls see a bit of themselves in her". She has said people confuse her and fellow Bradfordian Kimberley Walsh (of Girls Aloud fame), often stating that Walsh has been seen acting in Hollyoaks.

Jennifer has also appeared on Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack along with Claire Cooper (Jaqui McQueen) and Gemma Merna (Carmel McQueen); Lily Allen and Friends, and The Friday Night Project. In August 2008, whilst Jennifer was partying with friends at a Marbella nightclub, she was forced to flee along with hundreds of other clubbers as a gunfight broke out and two British men were shot.

In an interview with More Magazine she stated she had been dating Jermaine Pennant. They broke up in January 2008.
