Jakki Degg was born February 20, 1978, in Stone, Staffordshire, England. A blonde beauty from the very beginning, Jakki took an early interest in dancing and began taking ballet lessons at the tender age of 4. Eleven years later, her athleticism and grace allowed her to capture a succession of intense dance competitions.
Although Jakki’s innate sense of rhythm was unmistakable, she chose to shelve her dancing ambitions following high school and enrolled in hairdressing school instead. Luckily she excelled at that pursuit as well and began managing her own hair salon in the West Midlands by the age of 20.
Jakki may have continued crimping hair and giving trims were it not for her mother’s encouragement to enter the Max Power Live Babe competition in 1999. Not surprisingly, the Staffordshire stunner beat out hundreds of other entrants to be named Max Star Babe, and she hasn’t looked back since.
Following the competition, Jakki became one of Britain’s most in-demand pinups and she responded with multiple topless and semi-nude appearances in both The Sun and Daily Star. She also strutted her stuff in popular men’s magazines such as Front, Loaded, FHM, Esquire, M8, GQ, Maxim, Fast Car, Boys Toys, OK, and of course, Max Power. In fact, for the first two years of her modeling career it was almost impossible not to find a magazine that featured one of her sexy spreads.
Jakki also became a familiar face on British talk shows like Big Breakfast and So Graham Norton, and she made her acting debut in 2001 in the made-for-TV film Is Harry on the Boat? At the end of the year Jakki was voted Best Page 3 Girl Ever by readers of The Sun, edging out equally famous models like Samantha Fox, Jordan and Lucy Pinder.
Although Jakki officially retired from Page 3 modeling the following year, her presence still continued to be felt thanks to a huge advertising campaign for PlayStation 2 and appearances on Fear Factor and a celebrity version of The Weakest Link. Proving herself to be more than just a pretty face, Jakki even won the competition, earning 15,000 pounds for the RSPCA in the process.
2004 proved to be an even bigger year for the Stone native. In addition to invading America for a pair of red hot photo shoots, Jakki also appeared in EuroTrip, starring Michelle Trachtenberg, and featuring Matt Damon and Lucy Lawless. In between posing on bear-skin rugs and visiting the troops in Iraq, she also somehow found time to begin a university degree in abnormal and criminal psychology.
Despite Jakki’s propensity for shedding her clothes, she’s encouraging women to put it on by designing her very own line of lingerie called Bootee.
