Rachel Sophia Adina Christie (born c. 24 July 1988) is a British beauty pageant contestant, model, TV personality, businesswoman and athlete who was briefly Miss England 2009, and the first black woman to hold the title.

In 2015, she returned to the public eye, having appeared on Love Island. Her stint was short lived and was eliminated in Week 2.

Christie has since become a businesswoman and has set up her own lifestyle and fitness magazine called Going for Gold, and has launched her own perfume called Mesmerise [1]

Christie is the niece of former Olympic sprint champion Linford Christie, who, along with Ron Roddan, serves as her coach. She was born to Russell Christie (Linford's brother). At the age of 34, Russell Christie was stabbed in the neck with a Swiss Army knife. She was eight years old.

She became the first black winner of Miss England in 2009. She was mentored by supermodel Caprice and was invited by Naomi Campbell to walk in her Fashion for Relief Haiti catwalk show to raise funds for 2010 Haiti earthquake. In 2009, she began dating David McIntosh (Gladiators), a fitness model who was briefly engaged to model Kelly Brook. He was also a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother 14, where he was the first to be evicted. They were together for four turbulent years and had a son. In several interviews over the past few years, she explains herself and David aren't on speaking terms.
