Biography

Jéssica Cediel was born in Bogotá on 4 April 1982.[1] She studied social communication and journalism at the University of La Sabana.[2] In 2002, before finishing her studies, she competed in the Miss Bogotá contest, which elects the city's representative to the National Beauty Pageant. She finished second, being named viceroy of the capital. Her participation opened doors for her to work on Colombian television.[2]

Her media career began as an advertising model for television commercials and magazines. Her first appearance as a television presenter was on the Citytv program Bravissimo, in its Bogotaneando segment.[2]

In July 2007, Cediel joined Canal RCN as presenter of the program Muy buenos días [es], which was hosted by Laura Acuña, Jota Mario Valencia, Milena López [es], and Adriana Betancur.

In March 2011, she left Muy buenos días to present Nuestra semana, nuestra tele [es], an entertainment program, alongside comedian Alejandro Riaño [es].[3] She was also part of the group of model-presenters for Estilo RCN. In November, it was reported that Cediel suffered from health problems due to a cosmetic procedure. In March 2012, she initiated legal action against the surgeon and requested compensation of 400 million pesos (US$222,606), but the suit failed and the surgeon was acquitted.[4][5]

In 2012, she received the TVyNovelas Award for Best Entertainment Presenter for her work on Nuestra semana, nuestra tele.[6]

In June 2014, Cediel settled in Miami, to be part of the Univision program El Gordo y la Flaca, as an entertainment presenter. She also worked for Sal y Pimienta, on the same network.[7]

In 2020, she provided coverage of the Tokyo Summer Olympics for Telemundo.[8]
