Alex Lovell (born 28 March 1973 in Gravesend, Kent) is an English television presenter.

History

Lovell grew up in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and at 18 attended Rose Bruford College drama school in London.

Her break came when she presented Playhouse Disney with Dave Benson Phillips on the Disney Channel. To help build her career Lovell undertook a series of voice-over assignments and got her terrestrial break playing the voice of the Whybird in the Playdays live tour around Britain. Lovell helped launch digital satellite auction channel bid-up.tv, before being poached by rival channel Auction World.tv. Lovell also appeared in one episode of sitcom My Dad's the Prime Minister as 'Saskia' a Disc Jockey

Lovell's next move was presenting the live lunchtime quiz show BrainTeaser on Five. Initially she shared the presentation, but from 2006 until the last show on 7 March 2007, she was the sole presenter except for occasional breaks. BrainTeaser was produced in Bristol, and when Channel 4 started production of its daily show Deal or No Deal in the same studios, Lovell was asked to revive her role as a voice-over artist for the show, which she continued to do until the viewers' competition was dropped in September 2007.

Lovell joined the BBC Points West local news presentation team in July 2005, and is presently lead female presenter^[1].

Lovell appeared in one episode of ITV's The Bill, broadcast on November 14, 2007, playing a television news reporter. In May 2008 she had a role in an episode of BBC1's sitcom Love Soup, playing an entertainment reporter at a red carpet event.

Personal life

It was announced on Points West on 4 April, 2007 that Lovell had become engaged to Gavin Shorter, technical supervisor at Endemol West Bristol where they both work. The couple married on 14 June, 2008, and live in South Gloucestershire.
