Jodie Kidd (born 25 September, 1978 in Surrey, England) is an English fashion model. Thought of as one of the catwalk's most beautiful models, Kidd has also dabbled in TV (playing minor roles in Mad Cows and Prince Valiant).

Kidd began modeling at 16 and soon caused an uproar. Her skeletal figure led to accusations that she was encouraging teenage girls to become anorexic in an effort to mimic her looks. Kidd has admitted to being ?a bag of bones? in her early modeling career but has strongly denied that she was anorexic, blaming her skinny physique on a bout of glandular fever. During an eight month break in modeling Kidd added weight to her lanky frame, transforming in to a healthy size eight.

In April 2000, Kidd's attempts to land a lead role in the film Mission Impossible 2 were dashed as film producers considered her 6'1" (185   cm) stature to be too tall. Kidd is quoted as saying:

"Everyone has told me I would look completely ridiculous starring alongside Tom Cruise [at 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm)] because of my height. I have always dreamt of being an actress but agents have told me no one would cast me for a lead role because I am too tall."

Off the catwalk, Jodie's hobbies include motor car racing (she held the fastest celebrity lap in Top Gear car show for some time), golf 1, polo playing, horse riding, and acting. She has also taken part in several rallies of the Gumball 3000.

In 2004 she was the co-founder of Pret-a-Polo, a venture to marry-up polo, fashion and partying. She and co-founder Tarquin Southwell (her boyfriend at the time) had a very successful launch party, promoted by XPD Ltd and others, but not much has been heard about the venture since the couple split in 2005.

Her interest in motor racing took a more substantive turn in December 2005, when with co-driver Fabio Babini she took second place in the Trofeo Maserati race at the Bologna Motorshow.

Family

Her father is British businessman John Edward Aitken Kidd, himself grandson maternally of the first Lord Beaverbrook.

Her paternal grandmother, the Hon. Janet Gladys Aitken (1908-1988) married firstly 1927 (as his first wife) the future 11th Duke of Argyll (grandfather of the present Duke by a later marriage), and thirdly 1942 Jodie's grandfather, Major Thomas Dealtry Kidd. Her mother Wendy Madeleine Kidd (n?Hodge) is a baronet's daughter.

Jodie's elder sister, Jemma Kidd (b. 1974), is the wife, since June 2005, of Arthur Gerald Wellesley, Earl of Mornington, grandson of the Duke of Wellington; she also has a brother Jack (b. 1973) who is married and has several children.

After a year-long romance and engagement, Jodie married internet entrepreneur Aidan Butler on 10 September, 2005, at St. Peter's Church, Twineham, West Sussex.

Trivia

She was one of the judges in the BBC's July 2006 Sport Relief show Only Fools on Horses.
