Nell McAndrew - Yorkshire Woman of the Year 2003

Nell’s successful career has seen her as the first model choice for Lara Croft, the acclaimed Tomb Raider, a must-watch character in the hit reality TV show - I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and more recently as the ‘Forces sweetheart’ after becoming the first British female celebrity into Iraq – post conflict.

Despite Nell’s success, she has never forgot her Yorkshire roots and makes every effort to get back home to see her family and friends. Any time she can she's back in Yorkshire often supporting local charities and raising thousands for good causes, such as Cancer Research UK, ‘DEBRA’, Help the Aged and Lymphoma.
