Still chio! 90s ex-Mediacorp actresses who look amazing today

We all know her as Vicky Tay, the feisty sister in the 90s retro drama Growing Up which ran for six seasons from 1996 to 2002. Since Irin quit showbiz in 2003, she has been pretty low key, focusing on her professional career as a marketing lead in Pharma Consumer Health according to her LinkedIn page.

Her acting debut and most famous role was Irin Gan’s younger sister Tammy Tay in the Mediacorp English-language series Growing up. Jamie Yeo was also previously a radio DJ for 12 years with Mediacorp and Power 98 and a football presenter for ESPN Star Sports and Channel NewsAsia. Now out of the spotlight, Jamie and her family has since moved to the United Kingdom where she is thriving as an online entrepreneur for her jewellery brand Lula J Jewelry.

Jazreel Low, together with Zoe Tay and Aileen Tan were the top three winners of the inaugural Star Search 1988, and the trio acted in the drama series My Fair Ladies that same year.

The actress-turned-entrepreneur owns Aramsa Spa and a couple of restaurants including Singapore’s only garden-themed Japanese restaurant with late-night yakitori called ToriYard.

The former actress who used to be in popular Channel 5 dramas such as Triple Nine and Masters of the Sea, is now the chief executive of Mint Media Sports.
