	Actors - Fiona Xie

Fiona Xie Wan Yu () is a Singaporean television actress. Born on January 24 1982, she was talent scouted at the age of 15. Before joining MediaCorp Studios as a full-time artiste in 2001, Fiona modelled for numerous print and television commercials in Singapore and Hong Kong .

Renowned for her sex appeal, Fiona made her acting debut when she was cast as a nurse in the local hit drama series, Growing Up. Her convincing acting landed her one of her most recognisable roles in the sitcom, My Genie. In 2001, she won "Best Newcomer Award" at Mediacorp's Star Awards after just over a year in showbiz.

Of late, Fiona has become renowned for her talents as a bilingual variety show hostess, in particular of the long-running series, City Beat. She has since hosted other variety shows, such as the photography-based "Say Cheez" for Channel 8, and introducing celebrities' favourite hawker foods in "Coffee Talk and Hawker Woks" for Channel 5.

In 2004, Fiona made the news when she had to run with Jeanette Aw, Xiao Qiao and Felicia Chin, in bikinis along crowded Orchard Road, for the drama series "The Champion", . She later admitted through an interview that she wore another bikini underneath. Rumours were spread through the Taiwanese paparazzi that she was romantically involved with Taiwanese "Champion" co-star, Toro, which both parties have denied, saying that they were friends.

In 2005, Fiona Xie was voted FHM Singapore's Sexiest Woman of the Year mainly due to her reputation of being well-endowed, even though she has never been photographed by FHM. However she objects being referred to as a sex-symbol. She has also said that her on-screen bubbly & saccharine sweet persona is different from her more reserved, slightly husky-voiced true self.
