Jayne Middlemiss (born 3 February 1971) is an English television and radio presenter. She began presenting music television shows such as The O-Zone and Top of the Pops in the mid-1990s, before presenting a variety of other television and radio shows, including on BBC Radio 6 Music. She has won both Celebrity MasterChef and former reality show Celebrity Love Island.

Middlemiss was born and brought up in the town of Bedlington in Northumberland. Her father Tom was a miner and her mother Janet was a factory worker. She has a younger sister, Allyson, who is a nurse. She attended Meadowdale Middle School and later Bedlingtonshire Community High School.

Middlemiss first worked in an electrical store, but left to London. In 1991, Middlemiss started out as a model; within a year, she left that behind to pursue a career in the media.

She has since appeared in the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll, at 77 (1998), 75 (1999) and 74 (2000).

Middlemiss worked for Noel Edmonds and Chris Evans before briefly working as a nanny, a shop assistant and a waitress. She worked for only two weeks as a trainee researcher on GMTV with Peter McHugh, before gaining her first presenting job on music show The O-Zone with Jamie Theakston from 1995. She got the audition for The O-Zone after she met presenter Toby Anstis at a party and he gave her tape to the producer. She then presented the Smash Hits Awards, The Phone Zone and Top of the Pops and its spin-off radio show on BBC Radio 1. She also regularly covered Jo Whiley's show and various other programmes on the same station.
