Ellen Jokikunnas
Finnish model and television host
Ellen Jokikunnas (born 18 November 1976) is a Finnish model, PR manager, and television presenter.

Biography
Jokikunnas was born in Janakkala, and has three brothers and sisters: Emil, Anton and Ida.

The renovation is documented on TV on Joka kodin asuntomarkkinat. Jokikunnas is married. In April 2023, Jokikunnas and her husband bought a house in Italy.
She is also known as an active traveler, who survived the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake in Sri Lanka.
Jokikunnas experienced some questionable publicity when her insinuations about Pamela Anderson's breasts and hepatitis C while hosting Raumanmeren juhannus ("The Midsummer Festivals of Rauma") in 2007 – where Anderson was a VIP performer – caused a stir in Finnish tabloids.
