About Me

‘Best Reality TV Actress of the Year 2014′-Deborah Jay Kelly- International Achievers Award Nominee-Press and TV Coverage ‘We can confirm that Deborah Jay Kelly won the award for ‘Best Reality TV Actress’ of 2014

Nominee for ‘BABTAC & CIBTAC Most Inspiring Person of the year 2015′, Deborah encourages everyone around her to achieve their best and to search out their dreams. Hundreds of student testimonials have been written thanking Deborah for her inspiration and encouragement.

*Deborah Jay Kelly* has been Modelling and Acting since she was 17 years old.

She started by dancing on Top Of The Pops along with numerous Music Videos. Having choreographed 40 Fashion Shows for Charity she began her long standing career in Television.

Deborah Jay Kelly is now a familiar face of Reality TV, Film, Modelling, Catwalk and Dance. As a Beauty School Owner, IQA, Assessor and International Trainer, she travels the world training Spa and Salon too. ‘I am told that I am an amazing, talented and sought after lady who is inspirational!

‘I would like to do so much more to help and encourage those that need support. My future plan is to create a new way of thinking in terms of beauty with a new style of ‘Fashion Shows and Talent Contests’. These would be aimed at those who have suffered illness, those that are disabled and those that do not fit into the category of being visually beautiful but shine from the inside!
Having suffered from a debilitating illness for 10 years I feel that I want to reach out to those who may have suffered and recognise them for who they are’ says Deborah Jay Kelly

An excellent ‘role model’ for Confident Older Women and have my own Beauty Show offering quick tips for hair and beauty’.

I train upmarket Spa’s internationally in Beauty. Worked as a part-time model, dancer and actress since I was 17, I have lots of experience, am versatile and absolutely shine in front of the Camera! .

‘Whenever I am filmed, I am told that I am a ‘Natural in front of the Camera’ but there is so much more I would like to do’!

I created a marketable group called the ‘Angels In Training that are featured along with my Beauty School on many high profile TV shows! My School ‘The Angel Academy of Teaching and Training’ is featured regularly on TOWIE and other high profile TV shows as well.

Recent project is a main character role in a forthcoming ‘Reality TV show! I appeared in a Charity Fashion show recently wearing a Bikini and would like to be more involved in catalogue modelling this year.

Deborah Jay Kelly has 52 accreditations in Beauty, Teaching, Assessing, IQA and Therapy , is a trained Dancer and still looks fabulous in a Bikini!!

Deborah Jay Kelly is CEO of ‘The Angel Academy of Teaching and Training’ which she founded in 2003 to fill a niche market. Having taught in may major Colleges as well as Harley Street, she felt that the level of teaching and their standards were more Tutor led and so she started her Academy as a Student led school. Training mostly mature women who are looking for a career change or are looking to go back to work after raising their children, Deborah offers a unique way to learn which involves small classes and very personalised tuition.

‘Women should be celebrated and recognised for their talents and beauty at every age and this is something I would like to change’

Today, Deborah lives out her daily passion by working as a Beauty Trainerseven days a week, appearing in many television shows and promotions often discussing her work and running the Angel Academy weekend courses. More recently, Deborah was called to put together a team of her Students in order to work with a group of Celebrity Dancers called ‘Diversity’ for a show called ‘Ashley’s Secret Street Crew’. The decision was tough but she settled on a group of her favourite students and therapists. Little did she know that this would lead to ‘The Angel Academy of Teaching and Training’ becoming one of the most televised beauty schools of all time!

I am Talented, Double Jointed and a real Go-Getter- I trained as a Latin American Dancer from the age of 6, and Won competitions so many years running that the organizers rigged the competition to stop me winning the final year! I have danced on Top Of The Pops with Haircut 100, Sique Sigue Sputnik, Bananarama and Depeche Mode. In one shoot I wore a pink plastic basque and spray on trousers and had to wave a bent talked tulip in the air during the Captain Sensible song ‘Happy Talk’. I danced in a Rozalla and Depeche Mode video. I was a Majorette that performed double baton in the ‘Battle of the Flowers’ in Jersey. I have not danced for many years now though!

Other Information

Relevant Skills

Deborah Jay Kelly is the founder and CEO of The Angel Academy which was established in 2003. Having started out as a freelance journalist and progressing to Promotions for different television channels, Deborah became fascinated in the common link attributed to stress and illness. This began a relentless search for therapies and a sense of well-being (which is inherent in our nature), which would benefit the lifestyle of any person and calm stress and induce a sense of peace in their lives. Deborah trained in 65 therapies, all of which were one year long and the accreditations with ITEC, VTCT and City and Guilds were undisputed. This is where she found her real passion to be. Deborah is also an International Trainer, and Assessor and an Independent Assurance Officer. Whilst running a full-time job and studying, Deborah began treating people at a elite Spa, and this led to the Principle of a College being so impressed at how well she felt after one of Deborah’s treatments, that she asked her to teach at her College. Deborah had previously taught for many years in a prestigious school in Harley Street, before being trained up as a professional Tutor and Assessor in order to continue teaching across many Colleges for a total of 8 years. This is where she met many Students who still do courses with her today. In 2003, due to increasing demand, Deborah founded the Angel Academy of Teaching and Training, which is accredited by the FHT, VTCT, NVQ and BABTAC and able to give CPD points for courses.
