Jodhi Meares

Jodhi Meares (born Jodie Kayla Meares, 24 March, 1971) is an Australian fashion designer, former glamour model, and television personality.

Jodie Meares was born to pubowner John Meares and his wife Denise on 24 March 1971 in Merimbula. The couple split up when Jodie was two years old. After, the family moved to Sydney, where she developed an interest in glamour modelling at the age of 14. Once in Sydney, Jodie attended Brigidine College Randwick for her high school years.

Meares took her first steps into the spotlight when she was chosen as a Moove milk model, aged 16. In 1992 she sang in the band Euphoria, for which she wrote the song "Karma". Meares later made her name as a glamour model, before establishing her own swimwear label Tigerlily Swimwear.

Meares is an occasional reporter for the Nine Network's travel show Getaway. She has also appeared 3 times on the Nine Network's clip show "20 to 1"

She was the host for FOX8's Australia's Next Top Model in 2007 and 2008, taking over from Erika Heynatz, and joining the likes of international hosts Lisa Snowdon (UK) and creator Tyra Banks (US). In both of those seasons, the models have appeared in advertisements for Meares's former swimsuit line, Tigerlilly. Meares's tenure was not widely regarded; critics and fans of the show were shocked that a glamour model was to host a search for High Fashion models.
