Jameela Alia Jamil was born on February 25, 1986.

When she was 17, the 32-year-old was hit by a car, breaking multiple bones and badly damaging her spine.

Jameela received steroid treatment and physiotherapy after being warned she would never walk again.

Jameela worked as a model and fashion scout for Premier Model Management while teaching English to foreign students on Oxford Street.

She is an English television and radio presenter, model, and actress presently.

She joined Channel 4 in 2008 and was the host of T4 from 2009 to 2012.

Later that year, she took over The Radio 1 Chart program from Reggie Yates.

Jameela Jamil announced her departure from Twitter after the network accepted Elon Musk’s $44 billion deal to purchase it.

Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s encouragement to his “worst critics” to continue on Twitter, it appears that some celebrities are permanently canceling their accounts.

One of such celebrities is Jamil.

She wrote on her page

“Ah he got Twitter,” Jamil wrote, along with four photos of herself and her dog. “I’d want to leave this as my final tweet.” “It’s basically just any excuse to show pictures of Barold.”

“I fear that this free speech bid will aid this infernal platform in its ultimate form of lawless hatred, racism, and sexism.” “Best wishes,” she said.
