"Jodie Kidd" (born 25 September, 1978 in Canterbury, England) is an English fashion model, sports woman, television personality and sometime actress. Kidd began modeling at 16 after she was discovered by Terry O'Neil at a party and soon caused an uproar. Her slender figure led to accusations that she was encouraging teenage girls to become anorexic in an effort to mimic her looks. Kidd has admitted to being 'a bag of bones? in her early modeling career but has strongly denied that she was anorexic, blaming her physique on a bout of glandular fever. During an eight month break in modeling Kidd added weight to her tall frame, transforming into a healthy size eight.

Her parents are Johnny and Wendy Kidd. The 1st Baron Beaverbrook is her great-grandfather, the one who founded "The Daily Express". She has more careers: one as a model, another one as a make-up artist and as an actress. Chanel and Ronit Zilkha are two of the names she worked and modeled for. Her first job and campaign was for Gianfranco Ferre and after, appearances in shows for Jasper Conran, Philip Treacy and Scott Henshall followed. She couldn't have missed from important magazines like Elle, FHM, Glamour, GQ, Red, Self, Vanity Fair and Vogue.

Together with Ginni Bogado she founded a "Make-up School" in London in 2003 and three years later they created the "Make-up School" cosmetics line.

The press said she had a romantic relationship with famous and hansom actor, Orlando Bloom. On June 4, 2005 she got married to Arthur Wellesley, Earl of Mornington at St James' Church in Barbados.
