Model and TV presenter Tamara is eldest daughter of former Armani model Slavica and Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and she made her TV debut presenting the high adrenalin Red Bull Air race series for Channel 4 in 2006.

Tamara was born in Milan (she is fluent in Italian) and was educated at the Francis Holland girl’s school in London and then studied at The London School of Economics and University College London.
In 2006 Tamara presented the Red Bull Air Race World Championship Alongside Olympic Gold medallist James Cracknell, the series which ran throughout the year, was televised globally.

2008 was a year of important milestones in Tamara’s career as a TV host and presenter starting with when she was asked by SKY Sports to present their coverage of the 2008 Formula 1 season and host her own daily lifestyle show ‘Miss E meets...’ which focussed on the lifestyle, fashion, glamour and celebrity in and around the world of Formula 1. 2008 also saw her present for GMTV and BBC. Now firmly recognised as the first and only girl to successfully bridge the gap between lifestyle and F1,for 2009 she reprised her role at Wroom hosting the daily round up show used by the worlds broadcast media with a home reach of over 1 billion people!
She continued her work and incredible international presence by returning as the host and presenter for Sky Sports Italia and their coverage of the 2009 F1 season. With majority of her time taken up with her work for SKY and F1 she had little time for much else, but she was able from time to time to work as a fashion and lifestyle correspondent for GMTV and LK Today.

With the most of her work taken up with F1 for Sky Italy and all centred on motorsport, Tamara decided 2010 was the year for change and despite the enormous success of her lifestyle F1 Show she has decided to leave the world of sports and pursue her lifestyle hosting and presenting work, and more excitingly she is currently in talks with a major US network and broadcaster.
The beautiful Tamara was signed as the face and ambassador for Moussaieff fine Jewellery for their international ad campaign and most recently Tamara was asked by celebrity hairdressers and L’Oreal international ambassadors Royston Blythe and his partner Nick Malenko, to be the face of their new boutique salon Royston Blythe at The Dorchester, located at the famous five star Park Lane hotel in London.

Not one to take her privileged life for granted, Tamara gives back wherever possible. She recently signed up to fight animal cruelty as an ambassador for PETA in an international ad campaign which launched in late 2008 and another international campaign followed in 2009. She is also the creative director for the Great Ormond Street Hospital & F1 annual celebrity fundraiser and is actively involved with The Dogs Trust.
When she is not working Tamara enjoys travel, music, sports and fashion. A self professed home girl she prefers dinner parties to going out and hates the IT girl label she has wrongly been given. Her happiest time is when spent with her family and her four dogs.
