Anderton attended Redland High School for Girls in Bristol between 1988 & 1993, and, albeit briefly, Bristol Cathedral School in 1993. After school she developed a career as a model, and became famous after a prominent advertising campaign modelling Gossard Wonderbras.
Her career since has been largely quiet, with more photographic shoots and glamour, less catwalk. However, she has received coverage mainly due to the tabloid press who have documented her party lifestyle, including: a self-confessed night as a "high-class" call girl [1]; love affairs (particularly with footballer Mark Bosnich); and a cocaine addiction that lasted ten years.
Anderton traces her cocaine addiction back to when she was prescribed morphine after a car accident as a child[2]. In 2006, she was diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder [3].
Anderton's return from "Celebrity Love Island" has resulted in an increase in modelling and promotional work, including:
Successfully completed the Flora London Marathon.
British Berries summer fruits campaign 2006 - she posed with various fruits in a suggestive manner. Sales of strawberries and raspberries have hit a record £240 million since the campaign was launched.
Appeared on the July edition of Maxim.
