After stepping away from TV work, Jennifer opened her dance school, Jelli Studios.
The studios has launched the careers of BGT success stories Boogie Storm and The Greatest Dancer.
The website claims 'Jelli Studios provides elite intense Dance and Musical Theatre training for those wanting a long successful career in the Professional Industry of Performing Arts.'
The former soap star has been married to her husband Rob Tickle for 15 years after tying the knot in October 2009. The couple share three sons.
Jennifer and boxer Rob began dating in May 2008, and were engaged in October of that year while on holiday in the Maldives.
The following year they were married, with the ceremony being performed in Mauritius on 10 October 2009.
The couple, who live in Liverpool, share sons Bobby, 16, Harry, 12, and Charlie, 11. Jennifer also has two stepdaughters, Chloe and Sophie.
Jennifer's youth was anything but peaceful, after she became involved with a Liverpool gangster named Anthony Richardson who was later jailed for a vicious sword attack.
During her relationship with Tony, Jennifer feared for her life on more than one occasion, including one time when she was forced off the road by a rival gang.
Jennifer explained how she was living 'parallel lives' during her early fame as a star of Liverpool-based Brookside, while also dating Tony, who was linked to criminal underworld figures.
Years after being beaten and abused by her ex-boyfriend, Jennifer revealed she has finally come to terms with her violent past and is grateful that she managed to escape a life which saw her home shot at.
The Liverpool native now typically stays out of the spotlight, but did make a TV appearance in 2022 where she appeared on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares wins.
Jennifer described it as the 'best therapy ever' as she came to terms with her past relationship during her experience on the programme.
The actress met Tony when she was 16, they got together a year later and within 12 months they were engaged.
Back in the late 90's at the height of her fame - Jennifer was dragged into the criminal underworld in her hometown of Liverpool.
She found herself witness to violent incidents from fire-bombings to drive-by shootings and confessed that her cheating fiancé battered her during their six-year relationship.
Tony was later jailed for eight years in 2011 after being convicted of a sword attack in Liverpool.
During an episode of the Channel 4 hit - Jennifer broke down to Commando Jason 'Foxy' Fox admitting her life with Tony left her feeling worthless.

Reflecting on her traumatic past Jennifer told The Mirror: 'It was a volatile relationship and he was connected with this other world, this gangland world.
'For years and years I thought that life was normal and bad things like that happened to everyone because it happened in the world I was in. I was having nails in my letter box, going into hiding and fearing for your life walking down the street. That's not normal.
'I look back and think how it was so traumatic. It was so horrific what I was going through. I was such a young girl, I was a baby.
'I feel like opening up in the mirror room about that has put that part of my life to bed. It was like the best therapy session ever.'
She described the experience as 'crazy' and it 'takes over your whole body.'
She admitted she was left 'in awe' as she battled through the emotions and changed for the better while crediting the show for building her back up again.
The relationship ended when Jennifer discovered Tony was cheating on her with John Terry's ex-girlfriend Shalimar Wimble, which she describes as her 'get out of jail free card'.
Jennifer believes she has been left with PTSD after the traumatic seven years she spent with Tony, but is grateful for her life now.

Influencer found with her ‘throat slit by boyfriend' after attack outside cinema
An influencer was found with her throat slit outside of a cinema with a warning posted to her fans. Irene Gu was leaving a car park when her vehicle was suddenly blocked by her boyfriend in Taipei, Taiwan. The pair argued and her boyfriend, surnamed Liu, dragged the 23-year-old into a stairwell and slit her throat. The suspect then reportedly fled to his granddad's house before being arrested by police yesterday morning. He confessed to killing Irene, but claimed he wanted to get back £10,000 he supposedly leant her during their relationship. The pair worked together at a nightclub with Irene working as a public relations officer and he working as a security guard. Irene also had 30,000 followers on Instagram, and left her banking job to work in PR so she could have the same schedule as him. She only met him after her mum persuaded her to go clubbing one night to see more of the world. In May, Irene filed a complaint for assault against Liu as well as applying for a protective order. But he failed to appear in court, and in the days leading up to her death, Irene posted: 'If you hit me, I'll go to the police, right?' In another post, she wrote: 'Someone asked me why don't I just block him? More Trending 'Because he'll find me, he even asked my colleagues if I was at work, disturbing my co-workers. 'Most importantly, I don't owe him money!' The investigation into her murder continues. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.

Inside Justin Timberlake's 'debilitating' secret health battle and world tour struggles
Justin Timberlake's shock announcement that the singer has been secretly battling a debilitating health condition explains why his world tour was plagued by cancellations and performance issues Following a number of cancellations and performance issues with Justin Timberlake 's Forget Tomorrow World Tour, the Senorita singer made the shock announcement that he had been battling a secret health condition. The star revealed in a candid Instagram post that he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease, a bacterial infection spread by ticks. Among other symptoms, the NHS states that chronic fatigue, lethargy, headaches and muscle and joint pain can all be attributed to the often misdiagnosed disease. He joins a number of other celebrities who have also been honest about contracting the illness, including Bella and Yolanda Hadid, Riley Keough, Justin Bieber, Alec Baldwin and Ben Stiller. Lyme disease cases surged in the UK last year, with health authorities forced to issue an urgent warning to the public about the condition. It comes after it emerged Whitney Houston spent her tragic final moments 'feasting on food' with gravy boat in bathtub. Justin Timberlake's secret health battle Justin shared his thoughts on overcoming the condition, offering fans an explanation for some of the problems it had caused him. Writing on his story, the 44-year-old pop star opened up, saying: "Well, as these two incredible years come to an end and I look forward to the future, I wanted to write something from the heart. "It's not an easy task to try to contextualise the whirlwind of touring – but I will try…this has been the most fun, emotional, gratifying, physically demanding, and, at times, gruelling experience. I have been doing this for 30+ years (which feels crazy to say)—and have given all that I have to this. I could not have done it without my family, friends, the TN kids, and all of your support. "As many of you know, I'm a pretty private person. But as I'm reflecting on the tour and festival tour – I want to tell you a little bit about what's going on with me. "Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which I don't say so you feel bad for me, but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes. If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has, then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically. "When I first got the diagnosis, I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness. I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going. "Not only did I prove my mental tenacity to myself, but I now have so many special moments with all of you that I will never forget. I was reluctant to talk about this because I was always raised to keep something like this to myself. But I am trying to be more transparent about my struggles so that they aren't misinterpreted. Sharing all of this with the hope that we can all find a way to be more connected. I'd like to do my part to help others experiencing this disease, too." What is Lyme disease? Ticks that can cause Lyme disease are most commonly found in the Northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and upper-Midwestern regions of the United States. But they are also known to be found all over the UK, with high-risk places including grassy and wooded areas in southern England and the Scottish Highlands. Although some individuals that have Lyme disease get a rash or bite mark, there are not always obvious symptoms. Two types of blood tests are available to help confirm or rule out Lyme disease, however these tests are not always accurate in the early stages. You may also need to be retested if you still believe you have Lyme disease symptoms after a negative result, the NHS says. A course of antibiotics is usually the best treatment for the infection, although symptoms can go on for years. Justin's tour struggle The Forget Tomorrow World Tour was announced in support of Justin Timberlake's sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was. It kicked off on April 29, 2024, in Vancouver, Canada. He visited Europe, before heading back to Canada and the US. An extension to the tour, called JT Live 2025, saw the singer perform a number of festivals and one-off shows, before officially ending on 30 July in Istanbul, Turkey. But some fans were left disappointed with their idol, after he cancelled some concerts, with nobody knowing until this week why. His February concert at Ohio's Nationwide Arena was cancelled at the very last minute, leaving his fans angry and out of pocket. He wrote at the time: "You guys, I'm heartbroken, I have to cancel the show tonight." He added: "I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it's gotten the best of me. It kills me to disappoint you and my team who worked so hard to make this show happen. "I want to reassure you, you'll be getting refunds for your tickets. I love you all." In October 2024, he also cancelled his performance in Newark, New Jersey, only telling his fans a few hours before the gig. The same month, he pulled out of a further six shows, after he was struck down with laryngitis and bronchitis. Fans left fuming One of the former N*Sync star's fans shared a video on X showing disappointed fans departing the venue en masse. The person wrote: "Everyone leaving Nationwide Arena because Justin Timberlake cancelled the LAST tour date after already rescheduling from October. 10 minutes before the opener and after doors opened." Other disgruntled fans replied with their own experiences, with one commenting: "Bought almost 40 bucks in drinks tonight, was sitting in our seats, we thought the announcement was a joke". Another added: "Paid 20 dollars in parking and now 2 vacation days wasted on this." Someone else was left raging at the short notice, commenting: "Canceling [because] of being sick is 100% understandable. Canceling 10 minutes before the doors were to open is unacceptable." Another wrote: "The show was canceled at 7:30 and the show was supposed to start at 8:00, I'm sorry if you have the flu you would've know before 1/2hour before the show starts. There were little kids standing in line that was devastated that you canceled. Shame on you."
