Anderton was born in Bristol, England.[2][3] In 1996 she appeared in the Gossard Glossies and Gossard Wonderbra "Girl in the grass" national advertising campaign shot by Herb Ritts, which included the strapline "Who said a woman couldn't get pleasure from something soft?"[4][5] The campaign attracted a record number of complaints (321) to the Advertising Standards Authority, none of which were upheld.[6][7]
Anderton has modeled for Gossard (1998),[8] the Flora London Marathon,[8] British Berries summer fruits (2006),[9] Maxim,[10] Peacocks[11] and La Senza and graced the cover of British GQ.[4]
In 2004, Anderton was a contestant on the fourth series of ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!.[4][5][8][12][13] She appeared in the TV series Simply the Best[14] and a celebrity edition of the UK version of Fear Factor.[4] In 2005, she appeared on the programme Cold Turkey, which documented her attempts to quit smoking cigarettes;[15] she later became a representative for a smoking cessation program called QS7D (Quit Smoking in 7 Days).[4]
In 2006, Anderton was a contestant on ITV's Love Island.[5] In the same year, she appeared on Sky1's Cirque de Celebrité but withdrew after sustaining ligament damage.[16]

From 2004 until 2007, Anderton was a patron of Action on Addiction in London, a charity and addiction research centre investigating drug and alcohol dependence.[19]
She was misdiagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder in 2006.[5] She said, "I had depression. They wrongly diagnosed me and put me on a bucket load of blood pills. It was absolutely bonkers."[5]
In 2009, Anderton complained to the police about dozens of text messages left on her mobile phone.[20] A man was eventually charged with harassment and convicted.[20][21]
In 2013, just before she participated in Celebrity Big Brother 12, Anderton acknowledged past difficulties with substance abuse.[3]
