If you were a teen in the UK in the early noughties, chances are you woke up to Jameela Jamil on a Sunday morning. She was our Faustina “Fuzzy” Agolley, presenting the much-loved Channel 4 TV show T4 and counting down the week’s most popular tracks for Radio 1’s Official Chart Show.

Now, Jameela is riding high in Hollywood having landed a part in the Golden Globe nominated The Good Place two years ago. The backstory might surprise you: she left London for the west coast with no intention of becoming an actress. A breast cancer scare inspired the move; becoming a screenwriter was her goal, but her LA agent encouraged her to audition for the part of Tahani Al-Jamil in the NBC comedy. Rave reviews followed, along with a Golden Globe nomination for the show.
