Alexandra "Alex" Lovell (born 28 March 1973) is an English television presenter, actress, newsreader and voice-over artist who is employed by ITV West Country.
Her previous roles include stage and television acting, and she presented or co-presented the regional news programme BBC Points West from 2005 until 2023.
Lovell was born in Gravesend, Kent, grew up in Harrogate, North Yorkshire and attended Rose Bruford College,[1] a drama school in London.
Lovell began her career as a stage actress, in roles which included Linda in Blood Brothers at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
She also had roles in several other children's shows, portraying Miss Thing in the second series of CITV's Timmy Towers and appeared in one episode of the BBC One sitcom My Dad's the Prime Minister, as 'Saskia', a disc jockey.
She later began presenting on Auction World's sister network Chase-it.tv until the channel's parent company went insolvent in November 2004 following a £450,000 fine by Ofcom.
In January 2019, 69-year-old Gordon Hawthorn, a viewer of Points West, was jailed for his six-year stalking campaign against Lovell, following a police appeal.
