Trivia

• Ellison is a fan of Everton Football Club.
• For a while, she dated fellow Liverpudlian, Steven Gerrard who plays football for Liverpool and England.
• The question of whether or not her breasts (size 32DD) are real or as a result of plastic surgery is often the subject of much press speculation. Ellison herself strenuously denies that she ever got implants, giving as evidence the facts that since she grew up on camera (having been a member of the cast of Brookside since she was a pre-teen), and that any sudden increase (as would have been the result of surgery) could easily be detected. In addition, she was formerly a dancer, and when she stopped dancing she subsequently put weight on all over her body, resulting in her now-curvy figure.

• Welsh singer Charlotte Church recently rubbished the idea that Jennifer Ellison is "curvy". She said: "Jennifer Ellison is like a size f***ing six - she's not curvy... curvy's when you've got a bit of weight all over, instead of having heavy tits
