Jennifer "Jenny" Frost (born 22 February 1978) is an English singer and television presenter. She is best known as member of girl groups Precious and Atomic Kitten, replacing Kerry Katona in the latter.

Biography

Frost was born in Wallasey, Merseyside[1] [2] and grew up in Prestwich, near Manchester. She loved music from an early age. Her earliest concert experience was when her father took her to a Level 42 concert at the age of nine.[3] Sport and dancing were Frost's favourite activities, however, modelling was her dream. After attending St Monica's High School she started to work for the BBC Television for the Holiday programme and travelling around the world.

Career

1999–2005: Precious and Atomic Kitten

See main article: Precious (group) and Atomic Kitten. In 1998, Frost joined the girl group Precious, who were the UK entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1999, with the song "Say It Again", peaking top 10 hit in UK. Subsequent releases by Precious enjoyed only modest success, and their debut album failed to chart at all, ultimately leading the group to go their separate ways in 2000.[4] In 2001, Frost moved on by replacing Kerry Katona in Atomic Kitten, a girl group founded by OMD frontman Andy McCluskey. With Frost, Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton, Atomic Kitten have had three UK number one singles, "Whole Again", "Eternal Flame", and "The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling)". The group also had two UK number one albums, Right Now, and Feels So Good, both being certified double-platinum in the UK for sales of over 600,000 copies each. The total worldwide sales are estimated at 6.2 million singles and 4 million albums.[5]

2005–2012: Television and hiatus

After the split, Frost signed with Storm Model Management and became face for Nelsons (Homeopathy) products.[6] [7] [8] In 2005 appeared on the 2005 edition of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! on the ITV network, where she was eliminated on day 14. Frost features on Route 1's single "Crash Landing", released on 10 October 2005, which peaked at number 47.[9] Frost planned to release a solo album and recorded several songs, such as "Mirrors" and "Bad Girl", but dropped it when she failed to sign with a record label.[10] From 2008 to 2011, Frost presented the successful BBC Three programme Snog Marry Avoid?. Also in 2011 she co-presented OK! TV on Channel 5.[11] [12] In 2012 she presented the talk show The Wright Stuff, her last work before taking a long hiatus from her artistic career to prioritize her family.[13]

2021–2022: Atomic Kitten return

In 2013 Atomic Kitten were reformed, but Frost refused to rejoin them, and Kerry Katona returned as the third piece.[14] From 2021 Frost rejoined Atomic Kitten.

Personal life

From 2001 to August 2010 she dated the DJ Dominic Thrupp, with whom she had her first child, born on 9 October 2007.[15] [16] The couple planned to get married in January 2010, but they cancelled following the death of Frost's mother Rita from lung cancer and, months later, they broke up.[17] [18] Frost's father died in September 2017.[19] In August 2011, she married Spanish scuba diver Vicente Juan Spiteri in Ibiza.[20] [21] Their twin daughters were born on 20 January 2013.[22]
