The ex-model, from Glasgow, was crowned Miss Scotland in 2011 and is no stranger to glam photoshoots and TV appearances.
She entered — and won — the annual beauty pageant before finishing seventh in Miss World.
But she is more than happy to embrace her natural beauty without the full glam look on a daily basis.
She told the Sunday Post:'I can see I have some wrinkles, but that's fine. It's who I am and, right now, I'm leaning into the face I've got.
'I do feel the pressure to look perfect, but I know that's not really possible all the time.
'I used to come into the Heart studios looking like you'd expect to look at that time of the morning. There are cameras in the studio but I didn't care. That's how I am in the morning!"
She added: 'I have friends who might have had a cosmetic procedure and I fully support them if that's what they want.
'I wouldn't criticise them because who knows how I'll feel in a few years' time? Maybe I'll be doing the same.'
'Lorraine Kelly is a bit of an inspiration for me, and not only for what she's accomplished in broadcasting. She looks fantastic and she's very natural. I'd love to be more Lorraine.'
Beauty queen turned radio breakfast host Jennifer married her fiancé Jamie Hunter in 2023 after 12 years together.
I'm a proud pageant mum cashing in £15k - I wax my nine-year-old's eyebrows as I don't think she's beautiful enough, even though she hates it
She has been with her GP partner since being crowned Miss Scotland.
Her TV debut came when Miss World organisers invited her to front their own coverage of the finals in Bali the following year.
She went on to head up many STV programmes including The Riverside Show, Live at Five and The Edinburgh Fringe Show.
In 2018 she was made redundant after the loss-making STV2 channel folded.

But Jennifer bounced back to become a household name featuring in shows such as ITV This Morning and BBC Getaways.
She co-hosted Heart Breakfast Scotland with Des Clarke every weekday morning for two years before ending her time with the radio station this month.
The Scots star is now planning a podcast series about beauty pageants featuring in-depth chats with people involved in the industy.

New Match of the Day presenter Gabby Logan teased for 'embarrassing and cringeworthy' video begging Alexander Isak not to leave Newcastle as fans joke they 'thought clip was AI'
Gabby Logan has been teased on social media for her 'embarrassing and cringeworthy' plea begging Alexander Isak to stay at Newcastle this summer. Mail Sport first revealed earlier this week that the striker has told the club he wants to leave and Liverpool are preparing a staggering British record offer. Isak did not travel with his team-mates to Singapore after reporting a thigh injury and boss Eddie Howe has admitted the Magpies have a 'decision to make' over the ace. But Logan, one of three new Match of the Day presenters who will share the famous hot seat after Gary Lineker stepped away, has not given up hope that the frontman - who could go for as much as £150million - could change his mind. She spoke about the possibility of the Swede walking away from St James' Park on The Sports Agents podcast, declaring her words came 'from the heart'. 'The citadel of St James Park, that sits high and proud at the centre of the town, is like a cathedral of hope, of creativity, of joy,' Logan said. 'You know yourself: on match day, there probably isn't anywhere else in the world you'd rather play football.' "Don't leave, you're already at home!" 🏠 Gabby Logan makes an emotional call for Alexander Isak to stay at Newcastle United amid rumours he's asked the club for a way out. 🖤🤍 @GlobalPlayer | — The Sports Agents (@sportsagentspod) July 25, 2025 'It's a city that has grown champions and heroes. From Jackie Milburn to Alan Shearer, you have walked in the footsteps of some giants. You know the love and adoration that comes from being Newcastle's number nine.' Logan then concluded the impassioned video message by saying: 'Alexander, don't leave. Don't go anywhere else. You are already at home!' However, social media users were quick to brutally rib the presenter for the display. 'Wow. What on earth is this?' one account said. 'Embarrassing and cringeworthy.' Another simply said: 'This is absolutely pathetic.' 'Hahahaha what in the cringe is this. Embarrassing stuff,' a third wrote. A fourth added: 'I honestly thought this was AI ha, I mean seriously wtf?' Howe believes any decision over the wantaway Isak must be best for the club. When asked if he wanted a quick resolution, the Newcastle boss said: 'I wouldn't put a timescale on it. I think with these situations it has to be right for the football club, and everything then is taken into context below that. 'But the club will make the right decision with all the information that it has, and ultimately to try and move the club forward in whatever way that is. Then it's up to us to make good decisions the other way and try and improve the squad as best we can. That's what we're trying to do, regardless of Alex's situation. 'But I think there's a wider picture here. There's a whole football club that has to make the decision. The ownership, together with the board of directors, especially with the money involved in modern day transfers. The manager of course has an opinion, but ultimately the decision will rest with the board.'

The lesson of Lily Allen's time-out: every podcaster deserves a break
Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart, Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver, Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe are 'always on'. In podcast parlance, that is — I can't vouch for them socially. Where other shows have seasons, these presenting double acts release episodes twice weekly, year-round. With the holidays upon us, I have been wondering: how do 'always on' podcasters take a break? With group-presented shows like The News Agents or Americast, the rest of the team can pick up the slack. But duo shows like Miss Me? with Allen and Oliver, Parenting Hell with Beckett and Widdicombe and all of Goalhanger's The Rest Is… formats rely on the specific dynamic of their presenting pair.
