| We consider ourselves "number" guys, so when British beauty Nell McAndrew appears on the scene with measurements in the realm of 34D-24-34, there is no other option but to be in awe. |

| After getting video gamers in the mood as a model for Tomb Raider heroine Lara Croft, McAndrew reached new heights by appearing on the original UK hit reality show, I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Her renowned calendars and numerous cover shoots, including one in Play..boy, have thankfully extended her reach outside of Europe and into North America. |

On November 6th, 1973, a star was born in Leeds, England, to a working-class family. Tracy McAndrew was ever the athletic one and throughout childhood, dreamed of becoming a policewoman. Working in a bank after she finished school, McAndrew realized that she had a higher calling, and it was modeling, not law enforcement, that lay in her future.
Moving to London, McAndrew aggressively shopped her look around. It was The Daily Star newspaper that first latched on to this babe and put her on its front cover. Not much time passed before other publications were asking about this new face, and, after entertaining a few other offers, McAndrew took on her first big job as the real-life representation of the video game character, Lara Croft. To fit the part, she allegedly went from a B-cup to a D-cup, thanks to the wonders of modern medicine.
Following in the footsteps of such established models as Rhona Mitra, McAndrew toured as the Tomb Raider heroine for over a year, attracting attention at conventions and in print. This experience was regarded by McAndrew as invaluable, though a sour note was left after being denied the opportunity to appear at the British movie premiere of Tomb Raider, starring Angelina Jolie. After all, McAndrew was partly responsible for making Lara Croft the cult figure she is.
In 1999, she served as co-host of the entertaining British game show, It's a Knockout. The hosting job lasted two seasons while ratings remained high. At the same time, McAndrew served as a VJ on VH1's Spice, continuing to beat down the stigma that Lara Croft models' careers go downhill once the gig is up. |
