Abigail Evelyn Titmuss, best known as Abi Titmuss, (born 8 February 1976 in Ruskington, Lincolnshire) is a former English nurse turned glamour model, television personality and actress.
Abi Titmuss grew up in Heckington, Lincolnshire where her parents were teachers, and she took her A-levels at Kesteven and Sleaford High School where she played the clarinet. She briefly dated cartoonist BP Perry before moving to Ruskington. Her parents divorced when she was 17, and her father moved to Argyll, Scotland, where he re-married. Her mother is secretary of Sleaford Museum Trust. Titmuss graduated from City University in St Bartholomew's Hospital in 1998, and became a staff nurse at London's University College Hospital. She also worked at the Royal Brompton Hospital, and while there, she was harassed by a senior house officer in 2004 who was eventually found guilty of misconduct by a General Medical Council tribunal.[2].
Abi Titmuss was dating TV presenter John Leslie when Ulrika Johnsson wrote in her autobiography[3] that an unnamed television presenter had sexually assaulted her earlier in her television career. Matthew Wright named (apparently accidentally) John Leslie as the alleged perpetrator on his television show The Wright Stuff. Abi was brought into the limelight when photographed with John Leslie returning from working a night shift and her picture appeared in British newspapers. Shortly afterwards a private sex tape featuring Titmuss and Leslie was released on the Internet. Abi subsequently abandoned her career as a nurse and became a glamour model.[4]
