      Jennifer Ann Seagrove (born 4 July 1957) is an English actress. She trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and first came to attention playing the lead in a television dramatisation of Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance (1985) and the film Local Hero (1983). She starred in the thriller Appointment with Death (1988) and William Friedkin's horror film The Guardian (1990). She later played Louisa Gould in Another Mother's Son (2017).
      She is known for her role as the character of Jo Mills in the long-running BBC drama series Judge John Deed (2001–07).


      Early life


      Seagrove was born Jennifer Ann Seagrove in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya (now Malaysia) in 1957, to British parents, Pauline and Derek Seagrove. Her father ran an import-export firm, which afforded the family a privileged lifestyle. When Seagrove was less than a year old, her mother suffered a stroke, and was unable to care for her. Seagrove attended St Hilary's School in Godalming, Surrey, England from the age of nine.
      After leaving school, Seagrove began attending acting classes and trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, in spite of her parents' wishes for her to have a career as a professional cook. Seagrove developed bulimia in her early adulthood, but recovered: "I could feel myself tearing my stomach, and I kind of pulled out of it," she said. "It was a very slow process."

      Seagrove first came to mass public attention in the 10-episode series of the BBC production Diana (1984) adapted from an R. F.

      Personal life


      Seagrove is an animal rights activist and an advocate for deregulation of the herbal remedy industry in the United Kingdom, and promotes a vegetarian diet.
      Seagrove was married to British and Indian actor Madhav Sharma from 1984 to 1988, and then in a relationship until 1993 with film director Michael Winner.
      From 1994 until his death in 2023, her partner was the theatrical producer Bill Kenwright, chairman of Everton F.C. The couple appeared together as contestants on a charity edition of ITV1's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, winning £1,000. They also appeared together on a celebrity edition of the BBC's Pointless which aired on 3 January 2014.
      In April 2021, Seagrove spoke to The Times about her life as an actress, including her experiences with sexual harassment. She said: "It’s awful watching yourself getting older as an actress, just horrible. ... It’s human nature not to want to age. However, though the parts are fewer, they are more interesting. As a young actress, I was always having to push to get away from the English rose characters. Any bitch I could play I grabbed hold of."

      Mane Chance Sanctuary is a registered charity, based in Compton, Guildford, that provides care for rescued horses. It aims to "provide sanctuary and relief from suffering for horses, while promoting humane behaviour to all animals and mutually beneficial relationships with people who need them."
      The sanctuary was established in 2011 by Seagrove, who stepped in to support a friend facing financial difficulties. She was able to secure land on Monkshatch Garden Farm and has since grown the charity which today cares for over 30 horses using a unique system of equine welfare.
      In 2014, she performed a duet alongside singer Peter Howarth called The Main Chance, as part of a cause for the sanctuary.
