Jessica Pratesi was a contestant in Series 67 and an octochamp in 89. Before her first appearance, she appeared at the Co-events COLIN 2012 and CO:REA 2012. As of her second appearance, she was an indoor air quality consultant from Leyton in London.
Countdown
Series 67
On her first televised appearance, she lost by one point after missing the crucial conundrum AUGMENTID, which incumbent contestant Liam Shaw turned into MAGNITUDE to not only win but also confirm his status as an octochamp.
Series 89
As a result of that matchup, she returned 11-and-a-half years later and kicked off with a century against one-time-winner and Apterite Anthony Noonan. This time, her quest for octochampdom was not halted as she racked up 6 centuries to become the 7th octochamp of the series in just 4 months. She secured 822 points to place as the third seat, 8 points below Toby Byfield.
Other Information
She has also been a competitive Scrabble player and represented England at the World Youth Scrabble Championships, finishing 9th in the 2012 tournament. She is a two-time UK Youth Scrabble Champion, in 2010 and 2012 as well. Her father, Mauro, is the chairman of the London Scrabble League, and was previously a contestant in Series 65 (he also lost on a crucial conundrum). She was born in December 1995, and became the youngest person to play at a London Scrabble League fixture on 16 May 2004.
Her younger sister, Natasha – also a former competitive Scrabble player – later appeared on the show five years after Jessica in Series 76, but also lost after incorrectly answering a crucial conundrum whilst being 10 points behind. However, a teapot was awarded to Natasha on the basis that the mother of Jessica and Natasha, two-time winner Diane, appeared in Series 18 before the teapot was introduced.
