Jessica Cunningham (born March 1987) is a businesswoman, actress, model and television personality, best known for competing in the 2016 series of The Apprentice, coming fourth. She is also known for her appearance as a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother 19. She is the owner of the online fashion company ProdigalFox and the operations director for a PR and marketing agency.
Jessica Cunningham was born in Dronfield, Derbyshire, England in March 1987. However, she was raised in Burnley, where her parents ran a second hand store. They sent Cunningham to the private independent Westholme School in Blackburn, although she later switched to a state school, St Wilfrid's Church of England Academy, also in Blackburn.
Cunningham has also worked as a stripper and pole dancer in clubs across Northern England, under the name Roxanne Fox. Earning £40 and £300 a night, and sometimes up to £1,000 a day, she has stated her parents are embarrassed but that she has no regrets over her past career.
Cunningham ran a fashion business, Famous Frocks, with her ex-partner and father of her three children, Alistair Eccles, which failed and shut down in 2015 after Eccles' conviction for money laundering. She posed for Loaded as a model when she was 21. She left her role as director at a marketing firm to focus on her fashion business ProdigalFox, and appear as a contestant on The Apprentice.
Cunningham came to public attention when she participated in the twelfth series of Alan Sugar's The Apprentice. She stated she intended to participate with her "positive, helpful attitude", and described herself as a "dreamer" and a "female Jim Carrey." She was described as one of the "key entertainers" of the series. She was noted for becoming emotional and breaking down in tears on the show, and at one point had to be comforted by Alan Sugar's assistant Karren Brady. On this, she said "Everyone is capable of having a little cry under stressful and frustrating situations, and that is just how some people including myself deal with emotion."
