Her modelling career took off at a remarkable pace thanks to her natural, atheletic, “girl next door” looks , which attracted the attention of a host of directors from the tv commercial, music video and film industry. Much of her ensuing work involved filming for clients such including Virgin Atlantic,Samsung, Sunsilk, Pepsi, Lynx , Honda, Swiss hotel, and Jergens. She has also fronted campaigns for brands including Myla and M&S and shot numerous editorials with renowned photographers including Nick Knight.

Jacqui was also featured as a fire woman in the opening credits for a James Bond movie, which was followed by her being cast as the lead female role in “Heavy Rain”. The role of Madison Paige presented an opportunity for Jacqui to learn many new skills and work on her acting as well as offer her 3 years of motion capture and stunt work experience in Paris.

Jacqui is currently based in London and recently had a baby with her partner, the director Guy Richie.
