Jessica Martin is an English actress, singer and impressionist.

A skilled mimic, Martin soon made her name on TV with vocal work on Spitting Image and as the only female in the team of impersonators in LWT's Copy Cats, where she forged a friendship and double act with co-star Bobby Davro that carried across to his own show, Bobby Davro's TV Weekly. From there she went on to star in the West End, appearing in Me and My Girl at the Adelphi for two years alongside Gary Wilmot before undertaking a nationwide tour.
