History
Lovell grew up in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and at 18 attended Rose Bruford College drama school in London. Her break came when she presented Playhouse Disney with Dave Benson Phillips on the Disney Channel. To help build her career Lovell undertook a series of voice-over assignments and got her terrestrial break playing the voice of the Whybird in the Playdays live tour around Britain. Lovell helped launch digital satellite auction channel bid-up.tv, before being poached by rival channel Auction World.tv. Lovell also appeared in one episode of sitcom My Dad's the Prime Minister as 'Saskia' a Disc Jockey Lovell's next move was presenting the live lunchtime quiz show BrainTeaser on Five. Initially she shared the presentation, but from 2006 until the last show on 7 March 2007, she was the sole presenter except for occasional breaks. BrainTeaser was produced in Bristol, and when Channel 4 started production of its daily show Deal or No Deal in the same studios, Lovell was asked to revive her role as a voice-over artist for the show, which she continued to do until the viewers' competition was dropped in September 2007. Lovell joined the BBC Points West local news presentation team in July 2005, and is presently lead female presenter[1]. Alex appeared in one episode of ITV's The Bill, broadcast on November 14, 2007. She played a television news reporter.
