Family

Tessa Hartmann, Tallia's mum, was one of the most searched for faces appearing on The Real Housewives of Jersey before quitting the show earlier this year.

The ITVBe show follows the lavish lives of seven women who live on the island of Jersey, and leading the pack is 51-year-old Tessa.

Tallia’s dad is Sascha Hartmann, who is a decade younger than her mum, Tessa.

Tessa and Sacha have been married for 26 years and they wed just months after meeting in a nightclub.

The pair founded film production company Billi Productions with fellow Scot Sir Sean Connery.

She and Sascha also began a PR agency, Hartmann Media in 1996, and she represented the world’s biggest brand names including Ralph Lauren, Swarovski and Louis Vuitton.

Tessa, as the self-confessed ‘eternal hustler’ that she is, works in fashion and in 2016 she was awarded a CBE by Prince Willliam for her services to the industry.

Taking to Twitter at the time, she wrote: "Feeling very honoured, humbled & excited to receive this incredible honour from HRH Prince William for fashion & textiles."

Tallia lives in Jersey in the Channel Islands with her parents and her three siblings, older sister Tessie and brothers Johnnie AKA Magi, 15, and Zac AKA Mouse, 13.

Musical career

The Scots born singer was discovered by Sir Elton John when she was just 13 years old, as the press dubbed her "Tiny Chancer".

Tallia had an impressive stage debut, singing five songs at an Elton John concert as a teenager after she claims she met him on holiday and handed him her demo.

The Falkirk stadium show led to her releasing her first album Teenage Tears in 2017 while Tessa acted as her manager.

Tallia spent her own teenage years recording in London and LA.

Reality TV

As well as music, Tallia is no stranger to reality TV.

She has starred in episodes of the Real Housewives of Jersey alongside her mother, as well as Celebs Go Dating and X Factor: The Band.

Tallia was a contestant on the Channel 4 dating show back in 2018, and got a nasty surprise when her ex-boyfriend Seb Morris was added to the line up.

The star confused viewers after auditioning on Simon Cowell's show X Factor: The Band, because at this point she was a minor celebrity who had released music as a solo artist.

After singing Jessie J's Price Tag during her audition, Tallia was told by Nicole she was "too self-involved" while singing. Simon added: "You're a solo artist. I'm going to say no."

She also revved into the All-Star Driving School, attempting to pass an intensive driving course in only one week.

And she has worked as a presenter for the red carpet of the Radio 1 Teen Awards, London Fashion Week, and TedXTeen at the O2 for Nile Rodgers.

Love life

Tallia dated Brooklyn Beckham for 18 months in 2014, and she credits the eldest Beckham son as being her ‘first love’.

The pair reportedly dated in secret for over a year back in 2014 and Tallia claims the Beckham's eldest 'messed her around' before cutting ties with her.

"He was my first love and we were really serious," she previously told the Daily Mail.

"Victoria was so good to me and introduced me to Eva Longoria. But Brooklyn messed me about and then cut me off. He’s an airhead."

However, during Celebs Go Dating, David and Victoria's son denied they’d ever been an item and a furious Tallia raged: “You dump me once, three years ago, and now you dump me again!”

She has also dated Formula One driver Seb Morris who also turned up on Celebs Go Dating.
